67 Cougar New Ignition Switch-has power in from battery but no power out of switch from accessory wire or coil wire while in run or accessory position. No headlight power either. POWER COMING IN SWITCH HOWEVER NONE EXITING!

Thanks i will. I noticed on switch/pigtail plugged in the accessory wire,coil, and resistor wire get power when i bend,move them around intermittent. I tightened spade conectors in pigtail as much as i could, it isnt any better. Either get new pigtail connector and splice it or run spade crimp connectors(correct gauging)directly to switch terminals? Does the ignition switch get grounded when secured in dash or it doesnt matter? Hey Thank You.
