Yellow wires? 92 to 96?

If so they are supplied by three fuses total and they are in the under hood power distribution box.
That box gets its juice from a fuse link at the starter relay mounted on the inner fender. Yellow wire/gray fuseable link.

If pre 92 then its gonna be a little bit different, no under hood power distribution box instead has multiple fuse links at the fender mounted starter relay one or more of them supply the ignition switch.

Talking about the ignition switch correct? if so yea 91 same thing, 2 yellow wires supply main circuits to it and originate from a single yellow wire at the fender mounted relay, a yellow wire connected to a brown fuse link to the battery post of the relay. There would be 4 or more located there on the post and depending on how equipped from the factory as many as 7 or 8 total.

Fuse link not sure if you know what one looks like, if not its a short section of wire does not look like what you might normally think a automotive fuse looks like.
