1986 bronco ignition switch

the igntion switch for an 86 bronco has like 11 prongs on it can anyone tell me which one does what. specifically which one is the power wire for the ignition sylnoid. I know it has to have a constant power into the switch and then when you turn the key it sends the power to the sylnoid wire.

I need to know so i can test whether the switch is bad or if i just dont have any power to the switch

The power input to the switch is on the yellow wire. So look at the plug, and find which spot the yellow wire is positioned. The red/blue is the output wire to the neutral safety switch, and then the starter solenoid.
