Ok guys i have a 73 rr. I am not getting 12v to the relay on the firewall. I was wondering which wire it is coming off the ignition switch. I see two plugs coming out of the steering column. Just wondering which wire is for the cranking system thanks guys
 
It is a yellow wire from the ignition switch, through the middle bulkhead connector to the starter relay "I" terminal. Mopar bulkhead connectors are notorious for having bad connections. Its a good place to start.
 
Hi, I just now have the same problem on my 74Charger. Does that yellow wire go right to the starter relay terminal I? I see 1 yellow wire and 1 yel/black wire to term I connector and same color coming out of the bulk head. I loose them in the wire harness but have power at bulk head when key is in start position. Do they go any place else?

The start wire is yellow. I'm not sure about the Yl/Bk wire on the "I" terminal. The drawing only shows one wire, yellow, on the "I" terminal of the starter relay. I have attached a link to the drawings for your car. However, there is an error on drawing "A", bulkhead connector 2. Pins 9 & 12 are reversed (horn wire & starter relay wire).
