Did you use a Ford replacement switch? Wiring question is related to connections at the switch, or entire ignition system?
Also, welcome to the forum!

Welcome to FTE ; posting pic's of couple circuits with ign. switch. Occasionally have to deal with electrical gremlins on these vintage trucks and found the Wiring manual very helpful and tracing them down. Most Ford suppliers have them or can purchase directly from Jim Osborn Reproductions for $7.Product List For info purposes, reproduction harnesses available, same wire color codes and connectors, unplug old and plug in the new. Unfortunately, have not found anyone who reproduces the dash harness. After market harnesses also available seem to recall members who used them spoke highly of them. There are several circuits in the manual, posting pic's of a couple.
