Default Help Wires coming out ignition switch

I need to know what order to put them back under the console. Its the white female pin, how do they stay on the pin without moving? They are out of order.

Thanks Helga, well I figured it out, I went to pull the white connector and all wires came out, Orange, yellow and red, red facing the rear, anyway started car all accesories work.

I am gettin 14.5 volts at alternator and 14.0 at the battery.

Oh I did clean the contacts again on the ignition switch, 1 was charred and I am still getting these values.

I'm trying to understand the question. This is under the console? Maybe post a picture and someone could help.

These wires came out and I hope this is the correct order. I was able to put them back in with the plastic insert and tab.

WOW Thank you so much My friend. OK Looks like it is correct I still have to figure out the .5 discrepancy between the alternator values and battery.
