I looked for that funky connector but could not locate anything similar.
Will search more.

Have not found the cure yet. Replaced the alternator voltage regulator but did not help.
Had limited time to work on it. Will keep you all updated. Thanks for checking on me.

Smile Solved

OK, everyone, found the problem. The issue was the defective kill switch, when checked power to the main fuses it was zero amp. Strange, because I thought that was first thing I checked but I guess not.
Connected positive with the main fuse wire and car started like a champ. Thank you all for the help.
