The scenario I am talking about, the starter is not even in the car, so there isn't an amp draw. I noticed when I was checking my "START" position voltage by turning the key and putting a meter on the purple wire (where I had 12v), my radio would shut off until I released the key back to the run position. It made me wonder if the switch is set up to cut voltage to the "RUN" circuit while cranking.
However after posting, I noticed that only the radio and my tach light are dropping out, my other lights do not and my voltage gauge (aftermarket installed on my console) remains at 12v. So I'm assuming that power is not cut to the complete run circuit, but I would have to trace to see where my radio and tach light are pulling power from. Those circuits seem to be dropping during crank.
I know that washing and waxing my car with the present condtion of my paint is like polishing a turd.....but it's my turd and I want it polished!
