If you need help following the wires lemme know, I have a wiring harness that I pulled out of a car ('92) that I can look at.
I guess it could be the switch itself too, that's a good point.

Just thought I'd update, though I doubt my fix will help anyone else in the future
After ALOT of current and voltage drop testing, plus pulling apart the steering column, and the harness that goes through the firewall, I discovered my issue (over a weeks worth of work later!)
It appears that on one of the times I put my starter back in (after the 5 speed swap, I'd pulled the starter on 2 more occasions to deal with the occasional starting issue by cleaning the starter and solenoid, which I later realized was probably relay related). Anyway, on the most recent installation, when the car worked perfect for 6 days then completely died, it appears I installed the control wire connector on upside down.
It was just sitting down by my starter solenoid waiting to be plugged back in. I'm assuming it wiggled off over those 6 days.
This time I made sure to install it the right way so I hear the CLICK!
She turns over and starts every time now. Lets hope this lasts. And for gods sake if you're having this problem, check all your connections before you tear the car apart!
