*Need help on how to wire up a switch panel*

Thank you for the response.

Ok. The way it looks in the wiring schematic I have is that the blue goes to the instruments, etc, but also to the firewall connector, and then from there, a brown wire goes to the coil.

The brown looks like it goes to the neutral safety switch, so since it's hooked with the yellow wire, is only getting power when the starter button is pressed. The way I have it hooked up, the brown is hot only on start (same with yellow).

I have thought of just bypassing the factory wiring, but not sure if I'd have any better luck. I'm ok with wiring, but not much more than that.

I have a Ford starter relay mounted in the trunk because I moved the battery and put in a master shut off switch, so the starting system is already altered. How does this change things?

The battery relocation with the Ford relay has been done for a while, and has worked good with no problems with the regular ignition key; it's not something new.
