Hi all....my pearl car stranded me after coming back from Halibut  
fishing on the coast.....Borrowed a tilt-bed trailer, and the front  
airdam under the bumper is a bit worse for wear upon  
unloading......Anyway, I just jumpered at the starter, and it spun 
(starter rebuilt a few months ago)....Thinking it's the key switch.   
Pulled the connector off, and when I jumper between the fat red/2  
medium blacks....got lights/etc.  Thinking I want to jumper between  
the fat red-red/black to get the starter to go, but wanted to check  
before doing so......(switch wire @ starter is red/black).  I had a  
jury-rigged switch system in my Toyota truck for the entire 15 years  
I owned it.....Just want to know if I'm right in my assumption/need  
to jumper any of the other wires?......Hope all's well...Sincerely Tom
