Default Ignition Switch

Dammit😁 I bought a new UN as I broke my old one trying to troubleshoot it. Taking it apart. I figured the new was going to be wire for wire swap. Not. My old has (starting at about 1:00). 1 term. Then round to about 4:30 &5 Two. Then 1 at 7,
Then TWO at 10 &11...
The new one is set up like that but NOT two at 10 &11. Just one at 10.
When I turn em ovr they are NOT the same as far as the "path"/ metal between either😞
I'm goons Try pics?
On top of all that, my scoot does not appear to have been wired perc diagram either! Sounds like I need to really DIG rip mee apart Huh? Any ideas on the switch?

Make a copy of the wiring diagram from the FSM and blow it up. Spray glue that to a big piece of cardboard or plastic or something and go through the entire bike, wire by wire. You'll see what's wrong with it pretty quickly. I just did mine and had to rewire several things, including the starting circuit. No more problems now.

You should be able to pick up a stock ignition switch from a bunch of places on the internet.

the replacement switch has a terminal that needs a jumper - power one of the back ones and test light what you need - run ignition - run ignition & lights -- try a jumper on the two rear bottom terms and see if you get the top left side ignition - and right side top lights to 12 volt when selected
