Ignition switch

Post by Dazco »

My van has at some time in the past had an aditional ignition switch fitted to the dash, doing away with the one on the steering colum. There are only 3 wires going to it :- Single big dia Red. single big dia Red/black and a double small black cable, is the standar wiring for the original switch or is it missing summet?
Im wanting to revert back to the original switch , if these wires are the correct ones which terminasls do they attach to on the original switch.
Oh yeah , dont know if its relevant but the van has Lpg so there are a few more wires up at the dash end dont know if this has any relavence to the new switch being put in.
