What level is your CB-115 circuit board? If it is rev-D, or higher, Your engine will start with the chassis and/or house battery disconnects OFF because circuitry was added in rev-D to turn the batteries ON with the ignition.

The starter circuits are different for a Chevy, however, so troubleshooting will be different.
I have no idea.. I have not taken off all the battery cables and opened the box... and if is ford, not chevy. I mainly now need to know where the fuel thingy switch is to try that.... given it wont even try to start with the disconnects on or off....
My question was directed at enblethen. I'm aware your rig is a Ford.
