I'll leave it to you the figure out how 12 volts go in one end of the wire and comes out 9.

The purple/white wire does not go through the bulkhead connector.
I'm still not clear on your troubleshooting. You disconnected both ends of the purple/white wire, applied 12V to one end with a jumper wire and the measured 9V at the other unconnected end?
The above voltages were all measured trying to start the engine when it would not crank, correct?

power
What wire in the bulk provides power to the ignition switch is it just the terminal that says ignition?
Under the hood. the outside part of the bulkhead which wire provides power to the to the ignition switch, Does it have a resister that might be going bad.
We are going to take the bulkhead loose to morrow
