Jon:
Having done exactly this only the other day, it is still fresh in my mind.
There are leading from the switch:a wire to the fuse block and then the coil,a
wire to the
OD relay, a wire (RW) to the starter solenoid (spade terminal), a wire to
the ammeter (brown/white in my harness), a wire to the brake failure lamp,
and a wire to the ignition warning lamp. Hope this is some help. Arrrrgh,
indeed.
