Default 2001 Econoline starter circuit relay wiring/ no crank no start

I had taken pictures but I was redoing my wiring and I lost pictures before I could Houston as a reference. I believe that I haven't figured out but I'm just wanting to see if anybody has it different solution. When I read it the wiring I believe I forgot to wire the what I think is the signal wire to both the relay and the ignition control module. But originally was the red and light blue wire is no longer there so I don't have a reference at all as I replaced that too. But I feel like I'm missing something still, is the wiring diagram is also including that wire to the transmission rain sensor I thought but the more I look at this The more I get a little bit confused because I definitely did not disconnect any wires from the transmission range sensor but is that the same thing as the manual lever position sensor as this diagram calls it. Cable tracer that I'm using literally does not have a signal as I try to track it to anywhere at the fuse box. So should I be looking for where exactly the white and pink wire is attached and be attaching it to the other side of that? And because I have that cable tracker if I wanted to back probe it in a way what should I be attaching that to in order to trace it back to a wire leading to the starter motor relay and or transmission range sensor. Different ways to ask the same question I know but I'm just wanting to make sure it's clear what I'm trying to do simply that I forgot a freaking wire.

We should be able to offer some assistance, but we need to know why you started this and what kind of wire are you using to replace what you removed.

Are you using only one color and gauge? If not , then what, important since all wire is not the same.

As you know by now, the smartest way is one wire at a time.
