Default Gen V ignition wiring

I’m modifying my own 2015 L86 harness using the LT1swap.com guide. Great guide! But I’m at the point where I’m trying to tie the ignition (starter solenoid) wire to the harness. My aftermarket body harness has a fused connection for this wire but I’m not seeing a wire on the chart that engages the starter.

I have all the pink ignition leads coming from my harness, wired into the ignition replay of my engine fuse block. Using this fuse block.

You don't need the starter to be hooked to the engine harness. Just hook the wire coming from the ignition switch directly to the starter solenoid on the starter, through the neutral safety switch if you have one.

Im trying to do that but without unwrapping the entire harness, I’m having trouble identifying the wire coming off the solenoid. It’s a connector not a ring terminal, otherwise I would just bypass it.

If you are using the original engine harness, then the starter solenoid wire should be a yellow wire that runs from the starter to the underside of the under hood fuse block. It looks to be pin E2 on the X2 connector. Or you could use a multimeter to test for which wire it is.
