Mikey, sorry I posted the wrong pic of ignition switch, I will post correct illustration shortly.
You should remove the wires at the ignition switch, one at a time, and clean the contact surfaces.
Same for the wires at the circuit breakers, especially the ignition breaker.

I just replaced the switch, my brother wouldn't give me the key.

Yes it's not the original, it's a drag specialist switch, however when I took it to a shop they replaced the switch, and everything was working great, that was over two years ago. New switch looked exactly the same as newer switch.

Mikey, PLEASE disconnect the negative battery cable before cleaning the connections at the switch and the breakers (again, thanks WP).
When you clean those connections, look for damage on the wires at the connectors, sometimes the wire breaks (or partially breaks) right there.

Yes, just follow the red/black wire from the ignition switch.

Cleaned all the wires on the ignition switch, they looked good since I replaced the switch last week, no breaks, all looks good, just need to take off those on the relay under the ignition switch next, it's in the direct sunlight right now 99 degrees here in komifornia.
