Default Starter wiring

Does anybody know which wires on the driver side goes to the starter?

I dont mean the ones in the actual column but in the cluster above the pedals...

Anybody? Thanks

None of them. The start wire goes to the starter solenoid/relay on the passenger side fender.

What are you trying to fix/do?

When you turn the key that rod you see in the picture below causes a contact to occur within the ignition switch(also in the picture below.)



I dont know what your trying to do... Keyed 12v can be found in other/better places... This might help you with your mission.... GL

There is an aftermarket security box in my truck.... one day it feel down into the floor of my truck while I was driving. I kept kicking it because it was in the way of the clutch pedal. While doing this I think I pulled a wire and now my truck does not start with the key...
