Ryobi 40v lawnmower 5 wires identification

Help all!

I have a 20” 40v Ryobi model: RY401012VNM

It is the mower that has powered wheels/propelled wheel(s). Looks as though the previous owner tried to bypass a lot of switches. So I would like now to finish these switches but I’m having an issue identifying the five wires that come up from the lawnmower shell.

There is a total of 5 wires:
Black -?
White - goes to the sliding speed control switch.
Red - goes to the start switch.
Yellow - goes to the propel switch.
Brown - goes to the hold down bale switch.

Now black gets daisy chained everywhere. It seems to complete the safety check on the mower. If someone can take a photo or a simple wiring diagram as AI/Gemini cannot complete this task and keeps changing its mind when I point out an error and says you’re right, sorry to confuse you. I’ve searched everywhere and did find a Ryobi wire diagram, I tried to follow it, but no luck. I will include it in the post if that helps anyone help me. Thank you more than you know, tearing my hair out. By the way first post, sorry if I wrote the wrong format or asked the wrong way. Thank you again!
