Default Key Switch Wiring Help!

I have removed the switch from the cluster with all my wires disconnected. The previous owner had installed an alarm system from 70's era. The company that I purchased car from installed a new switch (wired and left exposed on carpet) rather than fix the issue and failed to correctly repair!
My question is without having diagram, what color wires connect to the original switch (batt, Acc, grnd..........).
If anyone could help with this would make my life easier correcting their screw up!

Appears to be brown wire, red, purple, pinkish

Thanks in advance

We need a year and you need a wiring diagram.

Luckily the wires were just unplugged rather than being cut! Switch wires connected and back the correct way.

Thanks everyone for the help.
