I wanted to report back on the latest on my engine panel.  I was able to get 
the connector in the engine compartment apart today.  Two of the pins were 
particularly black and all looked corroded.  I cleaned them all and put it back 
together and remarkably, the engine started with both buttons held down.  So 
that high resistance junction seems to have been the source of the problem.  It 
is such a rewarding feeling when all the work pays off and a problem is solved. 
 Thanks for all the advice and suggestions!

Now- what to do about the future- I am considering putting some electrically 
conductive grease on the contacts before reassembling the connector.  I may 
still butt connect all the wires this winter, but the grease seems like a good 
option to retain good contact.  Dave
