Hey, i wired up my ignition so i can use two switches and no key.. one for ignition and one you switch for a few sec until the starter gets ya running. well on the main ignition i didnt use the Blk/Grn... didnt seem to do anything and the car runs/drives so i didnt notice anything yet lol.

Then there was two other little sets of wire/plugs that went to the ignition.. one set blk and red look to go to a small solenoid that worked that darn push button that you would use to get the key out. Then the other set is red/wht and red/blu and this goes into the key area and im not sure what that was used for.

Just wanted to know what those two sets of wires are ment for? The Blk/Grn on the main and the red/wht and red/blu. thanks

There are 5 main wires going to the ignition switch:

1. 12v+ coming from battery2. accessory3. run(ignition coil, fuel pump)4. eccs terminal 345. start(starter/interlock relay)

4 and 5 only have power while key is in start position.
