Pulled too many wires pls help

I have a 2003 Ford E450 Bluebird cutaway shorty with a 7.3

l made the same mistake many others have made, I ripped out all the wiring from the cabinet above the driver seat. Including the components that worked with the ignition interlock.

I know how to fix the issue (I think). The problem is I can’t find a proper wiring diagram for the ignition switch. With this diagram I can back trace to full delete the interlock.

Does anyone know where I can find the wire diagrams to trace the ignition and starter wiring? Or if there are other solutions I am open to anything.

Thank you in advance.

The ignition wiring is going to be in the Ford E450 part so search for wiring diagram for that. Probably don't have to be 450 or even exact year to get the info you want.

In all likelyhood Bluebird just tapped into the Ford wiring.

Yes, that is the diagram Im trying to find, here’s a picture of the ignition wiring I need to figure out what wire does what. Also can’t find an overall diagram for anything ignition/starter related. If any one can point me in the right direction I’d very appreciate it.

Sadly that is for a 2011 model which I believe is too different from my 2003 model.

Ford dealer may be your only recourse

Would this help?

If not I did a Google search for "Ford 2003 Ford E450 wiring diagram" and found a number of wiring diagrams on Ebay for $10 to $15 used. If I were in your shoes and I found the correct manual I needed for that price I'd snap it up in a second.
