What does this wire go to?

I would PM Disco Mike. Or take a pic and post of the entire field, that would be more helpful. I know there are many here that can trace our wires in their sleep.

In the RAVE, Electrical Troubleshooting Manual for 97, section c1, page 3, a pink & red wire (color code KR) is attached to the key barrel switch and drives the ignition key lock solenoid.
From the RAVE description of operation:

If the vehicle is not in park, voltage from Fuse F12 is
applied to the Key Barrel Switch (X230) through the
closed contacts of the Transmission Range Selector
Switch (Z110). When the ignition switch is placed in
the 0 position, the Key Barrel Switch (X230) closes
to energise the solenoid and prevent key removal.applied to the Key Barrel Switch (X230) through the

Hmm interesting, would that have anything to do with the ignition/key acting goofy? It functions fine but its a pain in the rear to make the key turn sometimes. You have to fiddle with it for what seems like eternity to find the sweet spot and then you're good to go. Obviously it took its toll now that they key broke off, haha, but we're gonna have a new one made tomorrow and try and finesse the lock cylinder to continue working even if it means removing a sticky tumbler or two. The cylinder itself is pretty worn out but if I can ghetto rig it I sure would like to save the few hundred a new ignition switch and key cost.
Anyway what reason would one have to cut that wire? Think I should re connect it or just leave it alone? Day two of owning this thing and we sure are learning every little quirk fast, seems like every issue listed in the D1 tech section this thing has.

Speaking of the key lock solenoid and what to do as far as being able to remove the key, I had an issue with mine acting up for a couple of days and learned that the solenoid will de-energize thereby releasing the key if you temporarily disconnect the negative battery terminal. Just in case your key does not want to release...........
