After watching the smoke rise from the rediculous switch/push button assembly that my PO had jerry rigged (stranding me on the side of the road...again). I decided an OEM type replacement was in order. ;D
There is a wiring schematic out there for a 72' that has proven invaluable for re-attaching all the factory wiring harness connections, but it does not show which pole on the switch gets which wire. After searching a bunch of threads on this site I found this schematic for a 75-77 that does show those connections. After getting it wired up according to that schematic she starts right up!
I ordered the switch as a door / ignition set from BC Broncos that all share the same key. My only complaint is that the key does not yet spring from the "START" to "ON" position very well, so my accessories are all off until I nudge the key over to the "ON" position. I suspect that after some use the barrel will loosen up a bit.
Door locks went in easily, everything is working great.
