Did the heavy red wire at the poss cable pop the inline fuse or become disconnected? How about the connection at the junction block on the fender? That is the hot wire that feeds into the cab. Trace that wire with a test light. If you have 12v up to the switch but not after then the switch has gone bad.

I will check this but if the switch was bad then it would be bad and not be fine later, as in the case today when it woud turn over fine from the key. I know this car will have some eletric gremlins from sitting so long.
