Starter Wire Routing 1800 1973

Preface: Wiring around the starter motor was butchered up by the PO.

I'm dealing with two situations here - marrying the M41 4-pin harness to the mother ship via the 4-pin disconnect on the engine bay side of the firewall just to the left of the heater box, and at the same time straighten out some "modified" wiring to the starter.

Since the car WAS a BW35 auto, the starter was inhibited by the park/neutral switch. So that means the blue wire from pin #50 on the starter switch was routed through the 4-pin disconnect, then down to the trans. But for an M41 configuration, the wiring diagram shows the blue wire running from pin #50 on the starter switch to the starter via a disconnect somewhere enroute. But I don't know if it's the aforementioned 4-pin disconnect or not, because they call ALL disconnects "#23" (big help).


So now I'm wondering if anyone with a properly-wired M41 could tell me:

1.) How does the blue wire, from Pin #50 on the starter switch, route to the starter?

2.) Does it route through the 4-pin disconnect?

3.) Looking at at the upper half of the 4-pin disconnect (male), what color wires are connected and their positions?

4.) Looking at at the lower half of the 4-pin disconnect (female), what color wires are connected and their positions?

5.) How are the two white D-jet wires (#37 for the cold start relay and #18 to the brain I think) integrated with the blue wire to the starter?

Many thanks!
