I have initial beep at remote when turning on key. I have verified neutral safety switch. 12 volt at starter from battery. No voltage out of solenoid when key bumped to start position. I can crank motor over directly from starter however. 30amp and 15 amp fuse verified. No voltage to fuel pump on VST when key is turned. No voltage to fuel injectors. Safety switch on remote is bad (small plunger in center is missing) but motor should still crank without spark ? Battery fully charged with new cable ends. Seems like I'm missing a simple ground somewhere? My Forte has always been 2 strokes and this is somewhat puzzling. Any help greatly appreciated
