Stock Bronco Ignition switch.
Maybe someone can set me straight as to what wire goes where from the Ignition switch. (the part on the Harness)

I have 2 Red wires coming out of the back together.
A Yellow wire Also coming out and then...
A Yellow wire connected to the stud on the back.

This part had been taken off the old Harness so Im not sure where I should route them if I use another makeshift Harness.
Thanks

Yellow is power from alternator/battery

Red with blue stripe goes to starter solenoid
Red with green stripe goes to coil (changes to resistor wire)

Black with green stripe goes to instrument cluster (power for gauges and sending units)

Green with red stripe goes to voltage regulator (other wires may T off as well)

The schematic I'm looking at (73-74) has different colors from the picture, but wires go to the brake warning light switch and various under hood emissions solenoids.(throttle position sol.)

What year specifically is your Bronco Ohio?
Most of the colors and orientations stayed the same through all years, but there were a few slight variations over the years, so it might help to know.

The yellow in the side is power in.
Red with blue is starter relay.
Red with green is ignition coil.

Yellow from the stud is everything else with switched power.
It will T off farther up the harness. Gauges, voltage regulator, switched power to fuse box(radio, wipers, heater), and whatever else that only works with the key on.

Ok, that is most helpful
