On an 87 Force 85 CD ignition module, which wire is the kill wire? Blue, right?

WRONG!!

White wire from module is kill wire. Jump it to ground and engine stops.

White wire from module goes to terminal on engine to white wire in cable to "M" on ignition switch. Blue wire goes from other "M" terminal on ignition switch to terminal on engine and then jumped to ground with a plate.

When you turn off the switch the two "M" terminals connect and wite wire is grounded through blue wire to stop engine.

If either white or blue wires are disconnected or broken the engine will continue to run with the switch turned off.

Clear enough?
