ignition wiring diagram

Does anyone know what color wires are positive into the ignition switch and become positive when the the ignition switch is in the on position? I get nada when I turn the ignition switch (except the chime). There is a larger red wire in the harness (assuming that is hot going in) but it is dead in all cases.

Thanks,
AJG

The following info is from the '02 manual:

Start - 14 YL
Run/start - 12 DB
Battery - 14 PK/BK
Run - 14 BK/OR
Run/acc - 12 BK/WT
Bat - 10 RD

Same in the '01 manual too.
Under the hood in the fusebox, check under the cover for fuse #10, it's a 50 amp fuse that looks like a tiny breaker...bet it ain't cheap either.

Yup, fuse has hairline crack in link

Thank you both very much. Went on the assumption that the 10 R was the battery input to the switch. Was dead all day long. Rattled around things a bit and low and behold its now hot, but still nothing from the ignition switch. So checked the 50 amp fuse labeled ignition/acc ( no numbers but there are only two of them). Hairline crack in the fuseable link - can hardly see it. It's not blown, just broken. If you tap it, it makes enough contact to light my test lamp on the ign input side. If you tap it again, dead as a doornail. I had to take it out and tilt it to verify the gap, it was so small. I was just going to pull the ignition switch this morning. Now I'll head to Dodge and grab one of these fuses first. That had all the makings of driving me nuts. Thanks again and catalog that one for future.
Best regards,
AJG
