According to the 93 factory service manual there is a fuse panel up there that contains the theft fuse.
While I have never had to search for it, the info came from the FSM.
Perhaps use a mirror and flashlight.

Just got back from 3 days away and didn't have a chance to try again. Looks like I will have to try to get it done tomorrow. Thanks for checking in, I certainly can use your help!

One method is what I call the Wakeup Call to the starter. The procedure is on page five of this document.

The easy place to find the purple wire is on the clutch switch connector under the dash.



Another method is to vibrate the starter. The starter can be struck with a hammer. With a focused light look down next to the power brake booster. You will be able to see the corner of the coil pack. Under that is the starter. Use a 18" long 1/2" steel rod. Place it on the corner of the starter. Have a helper hold the ignition key to start. At the same time strike the steel rod.
