Reply to "Mystery Wiring up Front?"

AHAH!  OK, I saw that page but the "GY" colored wire thru me and I wasn't sure where the "whatever it is" module/solenoid/switch/thingy mounted and how involved it was.......     "starter interlock manual bypass".......   It isn't spoken of very often....perhaps because it was a 74-ish thing?   That would explain the crude jumper that is connected to it.....

The 25Amp fuse is a bit overkill??????  For a starter solenoid activate wire. 

Also what signal energized the switch to cause the contacts to close?  Or more correctly, what signal caused the switch to close the contacts? The GY colored wire from the Ign Switch is from the RUN contacts....   START goes to the Interlock module and then back to the solenoid output?    Something isn't quite adding up...perhaps there is a minor bit in the diagram that needs to be corrected or edited, as I don't see the normal wiring diagram for a solenoid and it's activation circuit......

NOW, after looking at the page a little more closely,  I think I must have a buttload of jumpered out wiring for switches missing completely...most likely since my original seats/seatbelts were removed many moons ago, so I should say I will likely have lots of wires "jumpered" together in order to keep the starter interlock module happy enuf to let me start my car!!!!

Dare I ask if any one has dissected one of these modules to see what makes it click????   I think I still see it up under the dash......just waiting to cause problems?????  ))

THANKS for the gentle course correction!!!
