A quick question; if an ammeter is bad, will the car shut off?

Sometimes, but not in all harness designs.

Why? I thought it was only an instrument to read a condition, not a no go item.

You're thinking of a voltmeter. An ammeter simply measures the net current in and out of the battery, although some cars might be wired differently.

I used my Power Probe to energize the Batt terminal on the ignition switch.
It cranked over when I turned key to start.
So I am not getting power to the switch. The RED wires (2) are labeled 25 and 26.
A schematic sent by Jim,from the Unique Forum , shows wire 25 going from
the ignition switch to the ammeter. I cannot determine where 26 goes.
Any thoughts? Thanks, Ken

If they're running all the current through the ignition switch, that's not a very good design...
