Giving up on ignition switches, Need wiring diagram, Bought a universal starter/ignition switch.. Options

[Andyrew]

So my 3rd replacement ignition switch started tweeking out on me. Im tired of this. This is not a stock 914 so I decided to get an aftermarket switch. 10 bucks at Autozone and I have a switch that I doubt i will ever break.

So I pull the wiring which I have become so familar with and see that there are 6 prongs on it. One obviously ground(Black), One obviously power(red, thick), One keyed power (red, thinner), and one obviously starter(yellow).. But then I see 2 other small wires, a white, and a white/brown. Where do these suckers go? There is no accessory switch to the 914 so I doubt anything can go there, Are they the wires that are keyed power or say a relay? How do I wire this on a 4 prong switch??? I would think that the two smaller wires just go on keyed power, but I'd hate to do it and be wrong.


Thoughts?

Thanks all.

914Mike,

I see. That makes sense.

Actually there is nothing that stays on (Radio disconnected completely, no clock, no amplifiers), but im sure one of the light relays has constant on, so that makes sense that there would be continuity there now. And no I actually dont get any sparks when connecting or disconnecting the battery, there is really very little drain.

This short thing just scared me, as I really dont want an electrical fire if I can help it..

I've been doing this on my own, I'll ask my dad for some help tonight, he has way more knowledge and practical experience in wiring than I do..
