Starter wire
How can I identify the wire that triggers the starter on the steering column? I want to find the wire, in the cab, that is used to trigger the starter selonoid on the fender near the batt. Does this wire get +12v when I turn the key to start the motor?

I couldn't tell you anymore but when I installed a remote starter on my past 93 the instructions told you exactly which colors were for what. Don't remember the brand that I used either but on their website they had a downloadable instruction manual with that information. That would be a round about way of figuring it out. I will try to find it myself.
I believe when you turn the key to "start" it completes a 12v cicuit with the fender mounted solenoid which then completes another 12v circuit with the starter mounted solenoid. The first wire is a pretty thin one.

Yes it gets battery voltage when you turn the key to start the motor.
