1993 Ford Mustang Starting System Wiring Diagram & Operation (03-06-2)

This is page 03-06-2 from a Ford service manual section titled 'Starting System: Description and Operation (Continued)'. The page finishes a numbered explanation (steps 6-9) of how the starting system works: current flows to the starter motor so the drive pinion gear cranks the flywheel and crankshaft; as current flows the solenoid pull-in coil is bypassed while the hold-in coil keeps the pinion gear engaged with the flywheel; the gear remains engaged until the ignition switch is released from START. Below the text is a simplified starting system wiring diagram showing the ignition switch (HOT AT ALL TIMES, with START/RUN/ACC/OFF/LOCK positions), circuit 33 W/PK (white/pink), branching to either a clutch pedal position (CPP) switch for manual transmissions or a park/neutral position switch (closed in Park or Neutral) for automatics, then circuit 32 R/LB (red/light blue) to the starter relay, the battery, and the starter motor/solenoid with its pull-in and hold-in coils and motor terminal (M). A note directs readers to the EVTM (Electrical & Vacuum Troubleshooting Manual) for more circuit detail. Diagram reference number J4494-A appears at the lower right.
