After replacing the starter/solenoid and still doing the same thing, I pulled the switch (new) from the dash, checked all wiring, etc. All good. Then I took the bakelite off the back of the switch and you could see carbon build up between two of the contacts. I was told that the aftermarket switches have a problem because they are too close together and eventually arc across. I cleaned all the carbon buildup out and used a small file to widen the gap. Cleaned it again, and then filled the gap with some super glue. Works perfectly!!!
