Giving up on ignition switches, Need wiring diagram, Bought a universal starter/ignition switch.. Options

[Andyrew]

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.

cant ohm the red wire while its connected to the battery...it will give a false reading.

Never ohm a wire that is connected to anything.
Bare unplugged ends is the only way to be sure.

For your switch.
You will see power on the large red lead from the battery.
Yellow goes to the starter (via the logic relay under the passenger seat)
Pull the passenger seat out and take a look....that may really be the underlying issue. Its a one year only thing...

If that logic circuit was removed (looks like a relay) then you need to make sure the two yellow wires are connected or you wont have a starter circuit...a dirty or weak connection there will never stop giving you grief.
