I had the car running the other day and tested the spark.

It was identical to when the car will not start.

The battery cable was very corroded once i pulled back the rubber casing.
I replaced it and thought this would possibly be the cause of the problem, but the car just seemed to rev stronger.
I bought a piece of thick gauge wire and im going to ground the hell out of this thing !

I asked on the Honda forums about testing ignition switches, and they said that i should see the warning light come on and stay on for a second or two when i turn the key. Also, if i pull up the emergency brake, the light is supposed to stay on.
Are you aware of any other tests for the switch ? ( it passed the signal light testing )
