wiring help
I'm in the process of replacing the dash, engine and forward lamp harnesses on my 74. There are 4 wires for the overide switch for the starter inerlock system ( 1 pink, 1 puple, 1 green with a black travler and 1 black. The catch is the switch is long gone and I have no intent on tracking one down to complete a system I'm not going use. The original wiring in the car was basicaly a series of bad splices and mystery wires which is why I'm starting all new. The question is I need to deal with these for wires to make the car start. I know from other posts on the forum you can use a jumper on the purple to the green/black to complete the starter circuit. I asume the black is groud for the switch, what about the pink? The seatbelt alarm ect. are not going to be hooked up, will this leave the pink wire inert?

The pink is power to the switch,the black is the ground,but the initial trip of the relay is done manually by the button,the pink combined with the black holds the switch closed (purple to green)for 1 start.
You could do the purple to green/black inside the cabin at the seat belt interlock relay and eliminate the orange connector and wiring in the engine bay if you want.
