Based on the other replies it appears you should be looking for a blue green wire on the engine compartment wiring harness since that matches the solenoid lead. And it sounds like the service socket has a pink wire (not blue green and blue) and is located by the left front fender. Did you get continuity between any of these points (i.e. service socket or harness plugs) and the solenoid lead? If not then the wire is broken in the harness. You should not be getting 12V at the #III position for the lead you tested if it is the service socket; that would mean that something is amiss with the ignition switch.
