Read previous post on how to test.
All wires are at the ignition:
12volts - white
starter - black/white
ignition - black/yellow
accessory - yellow
second accessory - white/black

I did not mention specifically that you do not need to power the accessory wires in order for the car to start. Just jump the wire from the 12v to starter. It should crank. If it does, hold the wire to both starter and ignition at the same time. If the vehicle starts, remove the 12v from the starter WHILE holding it to ignition. As long as you keep the 12v to ignition after this point the vehicle will run (that is, if it starts at all).
Hope this helps.
