ok, i just got back up stairs...
I'm getting a little frustrated.
my next i dea was yes, to check the kill switch. i don't know why, but i just have that feeling that something is wrong with it.
but mind you, i'm not too great with electrics. i'm gonna need some tips here. like if i need to, where would i find the wiring i need? or that rubber insulation that it's cased in.
