Rewiring 36 pickup
Any one know what the 3 16 gauge wires are on the ignition switch, it appears to be out of a torino about a 70-72?? they are'nt hooked to anything just hanging there. Also is no 12 wire heavy enough for the headlight wiring it is converted to sealed beams.
Thanks DD

They are:
Proof #1, Red-white stripe goes to the Hot Warning Lamp.
Proof #2, Purple-white stripe goes to the Dual Brake Warning Switch.
Ground, Black.
P1 & P2 are connected to the ground wire when in the start position.
These wires are for checking the Lamps condition.
Do you need a diagram of the plug?

Thanks, no I have to cut the harness off and feed my fuse panel and start sol. and ign. I will not be using these wires I'll just have to cap them off to prevent shorts.
Thanks again DD
