[6pack] Help with A-type OD wiring

[Bud Rolofson]

Dale,

My A-type is wired the same as you described in #2 (I was under there  
recently tracking down a bad relay and a bad switch).  There's also a  
purple/yellow wire at that connecter.

The relay had simply worn out but the bad switch was mostly my fault  
for not getting that chrome benzel tight enough on the escutcheon so  
consequently the switch would move and I'd twist it back.  After a few  
too many times of that the white wire got fatigued and broke at the  
switch.  It paid me back by being an intermittent problem that would  
connect one time and not the next as I'd rumble along the highway.
