Jon: I did this just the other day so it's fresh in my mind. From the back
of the switch there are wires to: the ammeter,the starter solenoid (spade
terminal), the fuse block and then the coil +, the OD relay, the brake
failure warning lamp, the ignition warning lamp, and the light switch on
the column.Some of these are ganged together so you won't have to check
every one. Arrrrgh, indeed.
