thanks everyone for the advice... here is an update.. i re-read all your comments and did some more research and decided to trace the two small wires to confirm what exactly they were.. the one was for the bilge pump and (I connected that wire directly to the battery and tested that an confirmed that it works).. the other wire was for the radio memory so that also should be connected directly to the battery....so then I just decided to start over and disconnect everything and reconnect everything including the battery switch and it is now working fine as is should!... not really sure why it did what it did originally!! I must have done something wrong when I was doing the connections the first time. Thanks again for all the help!
