Thanks for enlarging the picture, but I still can't tell where that wire is going nor if it has a stripe on it. There's a hint of red, but I can't really tell if that's a stripe or not.
I can't find a DB/R wire in the EVTM. But I can find a LB/R wire, and that is the instrument illumination circuit. And at one point apparently Ford planned to illuminate the PRNDL indicator on the steering column, as shown below. But I don't think that ever happened. But, if you go back and look at the spreadsheet there's a LB/R on Pin 11 that comes from the main harness on the right, turns to DB/R going through the two speed control connectors, and then isn't carried on in the steering column. So might that be your wire?

Ray - Hope you got the Taco fixed.
But I'm not 100% sure I understand, so forgive me if my answer is off the mark. But if that picture is an undisturbed connector, can't you check to see which one it is in my spreadsheet and then use the colors shown on the connector next to it to populate the other connector shell? What am I missing?

 This is your pic and I've Xed the blue #7 n double greens #2. Your spreadsheet shows pin 2 DG(2) to LG. And pin7 DB to Y/LB. My pins are male not female but now it makes sense. Am i correct here?

Yes, I believe you are right.
As for the male/female designation, I have been referring to the connectors themselves instead of the pins. But you may be right.

I'm back, still struggling with the C305A wiring order in the 11 prong harness connector. I have checked the wiring colors through all 4 connections provided by Gary and they all lineup. Horn and flashers work, brake light doesn't come on but what I push brake pedal with the blinker on, their corresponding blinker light comes all but doesn't flash. So I swapped pins 2 and 3, so instead of pins 1,2 and 3 being WP, LG, LB it's WP, LB and LG and now everything works but the brake lights. I've tested pin #2 (that's supposed to be the brake power pin) and it has power when I pushed break pedal down. So everything works but the brake lights. Pics 2 n 3 show my wire swap. Why don't through brake lights come on?

Ray - I don't have answers, just more questions. But we shall get to the bottom of this.
First, do you have speed control? In other words, do you have the two sets of C305 connectors, with the speed control jumper connecting the original C305 halves? If so, then can you take the speed control loop out and plug the main C305 pieces together and test? Second, when you said that you swapped pins 2 and 3, where did you do that? In which connector? I'm not sure it matters, but there is a chance that it does. Anyway, I think what you did is shown below - right? Did this whole thing start when you were changing out the turn signal switch? Right? Do you still have the old one? I'm thinking you de-pinned the connector, right?

 I do have speed control. The pics i took are of the 305A male connection. What I did is that I was replacing the turn signal switch. I looked under the dash and disassembled the 305A instead of the 305. I pulled on the T signal wires and the 305A moved so I thought it was the correct one. The diagram you sent is Greek to me. I will bypass the Speed section tomorrow and will let you know the results. I hope that works. I'm in Oregon Thank you Ray

 The initial C305 male @ the T signal was reassembled one hole off. Moved it over and everything works. Thank you Gary for you patience and insight. 45deg n raining again but I'm happy and relieved.... Ray
