C6 Transmission Neutral Safety Switch Wiring

I have a 1989 F150 with a 5.8 and a C6 transmission. I pulled the transmission out of a junk vehicle and took the control as well as the Neutral Safety Switch. After having the transmission rebuilt I am trying to wire up the Neutral Safety Switch but the switch only has four wires and under the truck there is five wires. On the Neutral Safety Switch I have Pink with a orange strip, Black with a Pink strip, and two Red with a blue strip. Now on the truck I have Black with a Pink strip, Red with a white strip, Purple with a orange strip, Red with a blue strip and a white with a Pink strip. How can I go about wiring this up?

join red with blue stripe together to bypass neutral safety switch but be careful as it will now start in gear.

so you just join the two red wires with blue stripes together?

21 year old thread, but yes, the two blue/red wires are for NSS. the other two wires with pink stripe are reverse light wires.
