2007 Bluebird Interlock Issues

[mitchk]

Sorry all to be creating another forum about ignition interlock issues. Unfortunately I had a friend helping with demo on this second bus and I forgot to tell him to hold off snipping/ removing wires around the handicap and back door. So the bus currently does nothing when the keys are turned. We are now trying to figure out what needs to be done in order to disable the interlock. I know of 4 wires that I believe to be the culprits. The first is a red wire that ran to the back door as well as to the side handicap door. This red wire runs to a flasher/buzzer by the drivers seat and then back down into the outside panel where it becomes a black wire with a yellow stripe and attaches to position one of a bus bar under solenoid 1. There is an orange wire which ran to the back door. It has no voltage and is attached to bus bar position 2 under solenoid 1. When I connect the orange wire to 12v the solenoid clicks on. There is also a pink wire with a constant 1.2V that ran back to the back door. There was a white ground wire which I believe to have been a part of the locking system in the back as well.

I've tried all sort of combinations of grounding the wires/ connecting them and nothing seems to work. The solenoids do not click when the key is turned and no dashlights or anything come on. I can get the solenoid to close/ let power through if I give 12v to the orange wire connected underneath the solenoid shown in the picture but there is still no power to the bus or any lights on the dash. If the orange wire is given 12v to the solenoid then the red wire that was going to both doors also has 12v. It looks like the switch to the handicap door that just had the one red wire going to it just connects the red wire to ground when it is shut or breaks its connection to ground when it is shut. So I'm assuming the red wire has to be either shorting or open. When power is given to the solenoid through the orange wire then the buzzer by the driver seat goes off when the red wire is grounded but the bus still doesn't start or have any lights. Sorry, I know this is a lot but I figured Id see if anyone had any good suggestions or similar problems with a similar bus.

Any help with this or fix? I have a 2003 that clicks in solenoid beside driver in panel and will not turn over.

hello there! Did you manage to disarm the interlock system? I am having a similar problem.... my scenario is:

I have a 2013 Thomas dog nose. I removed the roof top hatch yesterday. I had to tape the tiny red button in the roof top exit switch in the pushed in position to stop the alarm. My roof top hatch also had a keyed lock on it, which had a wire going to it. I cut that wire. After all of this, the bus started but ran rough. I turned it off, checked all of the fluid levels, and tried to restart it but the dash and everything was completely dead and the alarm was sounding again. Any help/suggestions would be appreciated!?
