Get switch in and working then if circuits still have problems, you need to go "parasite hunting"

Thanks for your quick reply. but there are 2 rods 1 for the dimmer switch and 1 for the ignition switch thats the one I'm a little confused about i guess it connects so that you can go though all 5 positions with the key.

You position the switch as shown, and put the rods into that notch, then attach it to the column.

The acturator rod for the ignititon switch sits at a 90 dergree angle and in order to connect the rod to the switch it must sit at a 45 dergree angle. When I tried to connect it there is tension on the rod because or the difference in angles or I am missing something in my haste I did'nt note the position of the rod as it connect to the switch I hope i am making sense I am working on a picture hope to send you one soon
