So my 3rd replacement ignition switch started tweeking out on me. Im tired of this. This is not a stock 914 so I decided to get an aftermarket switch. 10 bucks at Autozone and I have a switch that I doubt i will ever break.
So I pull the wiring which I have become so familar with and see that there are 6 prongs on it. One obviously ground(Black), One obviously power(red, thick), One keyed power (red, thinner), and one obviously starter(yellow).. But then I see 2 other small wires, a white, and a white/brown. Where do these suckers go? There is no accessory switch to the 914 so I doubt anything can go there, Are they the wires that are keyed power or say a relay? How do I wire this on a 4 prong switch??? I would think that the two smaller wires just go on keyed power, but I'd hate to do it and be wrong. Thoughts? Thanks all. |

#26 on diagram two, "steering column switch"
If you have a 73, the logic circuit is under the passenger seat, or you need to at least look at that part of the diagram to account for the yellow wire. Rich |

Rich I saw 26 but there are to many wires on that diagram to make any sense.. Im looking at it now and see black, red, grey, red yellow in one small switch section on 26.. Which makes sense. But I dont see where the other 2 wires come into play... I ran an ohm meter to all the wires to ground and black, yellow, small red and they all showed continuous to ground, which worries me. The 2 little wires and power didnt show continuous to ground. So I am a little stumped, I thought I had it figured out till the point I checked ohm to all the wires.. |
