The color coding may be different so do not depend on that.

Basically, there are two wires of concern going to starter. One smaller one that goes to the starter solenoid and the bigger black or red one that is starter B+ which is hot at all times since it is just about connected directly to the battery.

To check solenoid 12 volts input the ignition switch must be held to start.

BTW - The proper term for the park/neutral switch mentioned is Transmission Range Switch.
