Both donor and recipient are/were '86's. A quick check just confirmed that it's red, black, yellow and yellow/blue-green, or whatever. And I like the trailer connector idea.
The yellow/blue wire is what throws me. Where or to what does the other end of that wire go and what does it control? It's gotta be the reason for the no-start, no-crank problem, but what part of the system remains open until the circuit from under the shift lever that shows the shifter handle is in park or neutral connects it's contacts to provide current to...what? The starter, for sure, but from where?
I guess another way of asking this is what would it take to swap a Volvo, or perhaps ANYTHING into, say, a sand rail, and have it run? With a computer controlled engine and modern emissions and electronics, what parts have to be connected, and what parts are "optional"? I know that depends on how far you want to take things, and, yes, I'm one of those people who sometimes think of brakes and steering are "optional".
