Another S13 Ignition/ Starter Thread

Ok, I've searched around and found some things to point me in the right direction, but now need some advice a little bit more specific to what I'm finding. All things electrical are my nemesis.

My car's been having trouble (S13, Automatic to Manual Conversion, LS2/T56 Swap) starting primarily on hot days. Looked under the dash and sure enough, I've got a melted wire in the 3 spot of the connector on the car side of the ignition harness. I wired in some new wire thinking I'd be good to go, but no luck.

So I went through and started testing for continuity. All wires on the ignition switch side of the harness had continuity. On the car side, wires 2,3, and 4 have continuity both to ground and to each other, but wires 1 (white wire) and 5 (black/yellow, which goes to the starter) do not have continuity to either ground or any other wire in the harness. No ignition related fuses are blown. When I turn the key, I hear the click of the relay most times but not all.

Sorry if this thread is a waste of time, but I'm not really sure where to move onto next from here.

potential fix

Hey check this thread out. It details the problem and the fix. See post #52 for the fix.http://zilvia.net/f/showthread.php?t=620069
I have not tried it yet because I'm unsure about what size guage wire should be used.
