Engine cuts out and stalls while driving.

I still need an answer to my after-the-fact question above.

My last question, because I'm growing tired of asking. I'm assuming you don't need to press down on a tab just to turn the engine off, but to move it to the lock position. Is that correct, and did you turn the switch to the off (not lock) position prior to restarting?
This is a technically pertinent question, and any electrical engineer can verify the usefulness of this question.

Mike you obviously have ask this question for a reason, I for one am interested in why and hopefully an explanation as to how 1 shorted wire could cause a complete shutdown. TIA
( I think if there is a possibility of this happening you will be the guy that can answer as to why.)
