I was unable to locate that color wire as well.Found the connector on the driver side fender well,grabbed the vom meter and checked until i located a wire that has 12 volts only when the key is on.Works like a charm.

oh really? ill have to see which one has power with the key then. im just wondering what connector was it? wat color wires an wat it go to? just trying to get it all figured out before i start in on it

I'll take a look in the am and post up.I suspect our wires may be different colors with the difference in years.

As i recall,only several connectors in the area of the coil,and there were probably 8 wires or so.

I have one coil tan wire going to radio noise suppressor and spliced the other tan to a dark purple wire coming out of the connector.the connector on mine has some tan wires,red wires and the purple going to a wire loom that goes over the steering pump and to the other side of the compartment.

The purple wire corresponds to a red wire on the other side of the connector.Hope this helps.
