so i seemed to have fix it. It was the lid lock or lidswitch. Not sure what the proper terminology is for it. I basically did a lid lock bypass. 

I did not cut the wires and spice them together. But I did remove the black switch under the lid and took it apart and removed the little metal clip and put it back together. And it seems to be working.

It would have been easier to just cut the wires and spice. But I did find 1 video where the Tech posting the video said that that was a bad idea and that it might burn up the control board? If anyone has an opinion on that I would love to hear It. Because that's certainly an easier fix.
