914-6 ignition switch wiring, Red wire (R) where does it go? Options

[DonTraver]

Pulled my ignition switch today, found one of the two screws holding the mechanical and electrical parts together was missing. Installed both screws now the switch is working. BUT when I got the switch out there was a red wire with a female spade on it that came loose from somewhere.

Tested all the circuits, the only thing not working now is the turn signals, so I think the red wire has something to do with them. The color of the wire is red, I opened the harness connector, the wire has a "R" cast into the plug. When I turn the switch to the on position the red wire is hot.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks, Don

my -6 had a problem where #9 fuse would blow when signaling rt turn. I found that there is a strip of metal bent up on the dash frame that is likely to catch a stray terminal from the hazard switch. I bent the terminals up to keep them out of danger and havent had a problem since. good luck.
