Not quite Lugnutz. Once the key switch goes to run, R terminal is dead and the resistance wire takes over. S is dead also as you say.
I meant that you could measure voltage at the R terminal. I did not mean that the R terminal post was supplying voltage. The voltage at the R terminal post is actually supplied through the ignition circuit wire coming from the key switch. Since those wires are directly connected to the R terminal, a voltage could be measured from the R terminal to any common ground.
