Ignition help
Went to replace key switch in dash unscrewed it pulled it down and three wires came off. One is the battery wire, which I put back on the terminal marked Batt. (there are 2 batt terminals) but have no clue where the other 2 go, it wiil turn over but won't start. The back of the switch has numbers next to letters. Can someone give me a clue of which wire goes to what letter,number combo?
