Solenoid wire

Gents just thinking out an issue, the automatic trucks used a neutral safety switch inline on the solenoid wire, did the stick shift trucks use the same wire in the harness with just a connector in place of the neutral safety switch...? Helped a guy with the so called hot start issue, well not really, this being an auto truck converted to four speed, and realizing his problem is bad connections on the solenoid wire which comes from ignition, thru safety switch, thru the firewall. We replaced the wire totally with a one piece wire same size/color, issue resolved. just curious if the stick shift trucks had the same issue with the solenoid wire, too many connections creating resistance wire heats up and will not pass current.
