In the diagram, on the left, pink wire is voltage, key on, black is ground. Unplug the connector, key on, no need to crank, use testlite between pink and black at the wiring connector, the lite should come on. The pink wire is fuse protected. Also, the ignition module needs to see the signal from the crank sensor.
