Been over in the garage poking around on the wiring harnesses in the battery compartment trying to figure out where I need to grab that voltage wire for the relay. Ed told me it would be a gray wire, and apparently there are a few gray wires in all those wire harnesses under there. But I did find a spliced wire, however it is on a BROWN wire.







I send the pics to Ed, but he said this probably isn't what I need.

I did find a gray wire, but there isn't any splice on it, and I'm not real crazy about just stripping insulation off of wires helter skelter...





So I decided to look for the original STS manual and hope I could still read it, as it good pretty screwed up being oil soaked or something while at Harwood's shop. And yeah, I found it and could read most of the pages. Come to find out that the newer manual STS sent me has a completely different wiring arrangement and harness in it. Great.... The old manual says that you need to open up the fuse box to get UNDERNEATH it to splice into the gray wire there. So I popped the hold down clips on it and lifted the fuse box, and sure enough, there is a spliced gray wire there.





However the manual says that a BLUE wire should go to it, and now the blue wire from the relay goes to ground.

I took a pic of the relay, as there is a connection diagram of sorts on the side of it, but honestly, it doesn't mean a whole lot to me.



So anyway, I'm thinking that maybe all I need to do is to solder a wire back onto that gray wire under the fuse box, then connect that wire to where the red wire on the relay now connects to the top of the fuse box in a fuse slot.

Man, when I hook the battery back up and turn on the ignition again, this REALLY IS going to be a smoke test.
