you got a ignition switch and a Button too?.
Turning the key all the way forward would be the "start position".
Please elaborate.Do you have a aftermarket Start button wired along with the ignition switch?

i have my starter wired into a toggle switch separate from the ignition switch for diagnostic purposes . i wanted to see if the engine would stay running on its own power without the starter turning it, it does, until you cycle the key back from the start position to on position

i wired the ignition back to stock . i checked the b/w wire comming out of the main relay for voltage with the ignition switch in the "on" position and there was no voltage. can i use a jumper wire to bypass the relay to check it

Yes it is in that fuse box. The B/W wire in question is powered by that fuse so you should double check that fuse using a multimeter if you haven't already. Also, the fuse itself is powered by the Ignition Switch and more specifically the B/W wire found in a two wire Front Harness plug connected to the Ignition Switch pigtail which also houses a Black wire in the same two wire plug. The B/W wire has voltage w/key to start and key to on.

Then the problem lies within the B/W wire that runs to the two wire relay plug. As this wire leaves the Engine fuse it splits off in different directions. Where the wire splits off to the relay must be problematic. Are you measuring the B/W wire with the two wire plug disconnected from the relay w/key to on? And you're definitely measuring for voltage on the B/W wire in the two wire relay plug and not the four wire relay plug?
