Ignition was in run not accessory, right? I believe the next step would be to check the relay. Do you have a multi-meter?

It's idling just fine.

there was a lot of calcium in the head when I removed the coolant hoses so I'm letting it flush before installing my new radiator

check out my glorious steering wheel

Mold and mildew on leather? Definitely Florida. People just don't understand the humidity here in the summer.

I think I cleaned mine with kitchen cleaner or windex containing ammonia to help kill it off. I know I used diluted Sporicidin on it once. It has a residual preventative effect.
