Speedo/starter not getting power
Anyone familiar with these wiring systems more than I am?
I messed with my distributor wires and upper ignition wires trying to fix a jumpy tach/ignition problem. These wires go through the power distribution box and to the ignition control module and computer.
Fixed all that...went to start it....no start. I am not getting power to the solenoid to trip it. I did it manually, and got it running, but noticed my odometer and speedometer are dead too. I assumed these went through the same harness as say the fuel pump...yet that works.
I checked for any connectors I might not have plugged in, and I am trying to look through the haynes manual and check wiring....
...yet I'm hoping someone has been down this type of road before and might be familiar with how it's layed out/wired and what I should check.
Any tips?

The odometer does not go through anything. It is driven by a ribbon cable from the PSOM.
If it is dead you more than likely have a bad fuse at #8 or 18.
Yes the VSS wiring uses the same harness as the Fuel pumps and tail lights.
