I think if going by colors, #30 is red (12v + from head light switch), and #15/54 is black (feeding switched 12 volt items on the fuse box), and red w/black stripe (#50) to the starter. >Then, when I turn the key to the "start" position, keeping one probe >on the 30 wire, I should get continuity on the 50 wire and NOT get >continuity on the 15/54 wire. Is that right? No, in that position, power or continuity should be across ALL 3, otherwise you wouldn't have 12v to the coil during start.
