I used this photograph and layout as a guideline for my wiring.
http://opengauge.org/mpguino/ I understand that It is shorting out because of my end on the wiring. I intend to go over that and correct it shortly. It only happens when I compress the wires near the base of the connector. I guess I'm now looking for vss guidance and any program settings that are of great importance that I may have missed somewhere along the way. Sorry for being so convoluted in my approach.
