Hello again friends,
My ignition switch is busted (you have to use a flathead screw driver to start it) so I bought an ignition switch panel from Joe's Racing to replace it with.
Car is: 96 2dr 4wd Tracker, 1.6 16v, 3spd auto. Bought it used last week for $800. It has manual locks and windows in case that matters here. Also has a transmission problem, but that's for another thread entirely.
I have poured over the various wiring diagrams, and none of them seem to spell out in plain English which wires go where, and the ones that do have different colored wires than I have. I've looked all over, and even other posts in this forum share my same frustration.
My wire colors and their corresponding labeled terminals on the lock cylinder are:
Black/white: IG1
Black/white (separate connector, doesn't go into the harness with other wires): IG1
Yellow/black: IG2 (mainly yellow)
White/ Yellow: B
Black/yellow: S (mainly black)
Blue: ACC
Black: E
Black: L
Pictured is my current (broken) lock cylinder wiring for reference. Also pictured is the front and back of the switch panel that I purchased for reference.
Not pictured is the tiny burn mark on my finger from where I very ignorantly forgot to disconnect the battery and melted one of the small black ("L" or "E") wires because the wiring diagram I tried to follow definitely didn't lead me down the path to success. It melted all the way down to the switch before I got the battery disconnected. I'm hoping it wasn't for anything super important and that it didn't take any other wires with it when it perished. I don't know if it was the "L" or the "E" but I reckon we'll find out soon enough.
Any help with how I should wire this thing up would be fantastic.
Thank you.
