Thanks for your response.
Its an Oregon vehicle, 4 cyl engine, manual trans.
i installed a GPS tracker for security and am now going to connect toggle switches and a start button to replace my hacked ignition switch/harness.
my first post was a bit mis-informed. I did finally find a schematic that included the blue/red wire.
My rig is a '96 but the wires in the ignition switch harness match the '95 schematic. In other words, my ignition switch harness has six wires, the 1996 schematic has five wires, the difference being the blue/red.
What I meant by "articulation" is me trying to ask what circuits are opened and closed as the switch turns. The switch has four positions: Off, Acc, On, and Start.
There are two separate positive leads from the battery do they stay separated as the switch turns?
The schematics do not indicate. Nor do they indicate which lead powers which circuits.
Does one of the circuits that is closed in the On position need to be open in the Start position?
hopefully, my questions are clear enough . . .
