I work for a farm with a fleet of six Ford Rangers, from 1993 to 1998. Somehow one of the irrigators managed to burn the pink and red/blue together, and every time you'd press the clutch, the starter would run. Anyway, I was fighting with other problems and another irrigators that fancies himself a mechanic did an el mexicanasso repair. It didn't work, and now I have a chance to get the machine in for a repair.
Rather than doing the smart thing and tracing the wire to either end and just replacing it, he chopped it out and ran a fuse body wire into the back side of a fuse. I guess the idea was to use a fuse to start it? He also taped it together with some kind of fuzzy BS, then electrical tape over that.
Now I'm in the position where I need to make this actually work right. The solenoid wire is red/blue, but it seems that the fuse mess was slaved into pink inside the cab. The red/blue is now missing inside the cab, or at least I can't find any remnant beyond some insulation melted to other wires to trace it to origin with.
So, I need to know if this circuit works as power to neutral safety, neutral safety closed, power to ignition switch, start active, power to solenoid or start activate, power to neutral safety, neutral safety closed, power to solenoid. I'd also like to know where to locate the red/blue, especially if it is the power feed from start activate. Optimally, If I can find the power feed from start activate, I can just feed it to pink and be done, deleting the clutch switch (which was also burnt) if the other two conductors have no functional purpose.
