Ignition Switch Wires
Hi Guys, I'm still trying to find someone with a wiring diagram of a 76 ignition switch. There are 2 red wires, 1 pink, 1 brown and 1 smaller tan wire that go to the switch. I need to relocate my swith and use a standard GM
in-dash type key switch but I need to know what wires are for acc,ign,on,start.
My Haynes manual does not have this detail. Does anyone out there have a diagram showing these wires?
I tried Painless and they only offer the whole harness for around $200.
Thanks in advance.

Re: Ignition Switch Wires (viperjesse)
According to my Corvette shop manual there are seven wires that attach to the ignition switch.
Pink 12g (Labeled IGN-1)
Brown 12g (Labeled ACC)
Orange 12g permanently connected to a Brown/White 24g (Labeled IGN-3)
Red 12g (Labeled BAT-3)
Purple/White 12g (Labeled SOL)
Red 12g (Labeled BAT-2)
Ignition OFF - all wires are open (not connected)
Ignition START - IGN-1, BAT-1, SOL connected
Ignition RUN - IGN-1, BAT-2, ACC, IGN-3, BAT-3 connected
Ignition ACC - ACC, BAT-2, BAT-3 connected
There are two ground terminals on the linear switch GRD-1 and GRD-2 that don't seem to have any wires to them. Also BAT-1 does not have any wires either.
BAT-1 is hot when the ignition switch is in RUN and ACC since it is internally connected to the other BAT connections.
GRD-1 is connected directly to GRD-2 when the switch is in START.
Hope this helps.
