6 position ignition into 3
6 position ignition into 3
I recently bought an FXWG 1982. I bought a bracket to relocate my starter next to my coil with a three position key ignition. Does anyone have any info on how I make a six position Key ignition that was in the centre consul and rewire it into my new three position by my coil? Trying to remove the center consul to put a 3 gallon mustang tank on.

The switch has two on positions.
In one position the switch will power only one wire, this would be the wire you connect to the Accessory breaker.
Connect the other wire to the Ignition breaker.
The Ignition breaker and the Lites breaker must be connected by either a copper bussbar or a jumper wire, at the copper studs on the breaker.
This will give you Accessory power in one position of the switch, and power to all circuits in the other position of the switch.

Do you want to keep the AUX. separate?
the new 3-possession switch is
ignition/headlight/AUX - off - AUX only
figure out whats hot, whats AUX, and whats
ignition/ headlight (combine these 2).
The other 2 wires on the old switch are jumpers

So remember this is reverse and looking from the back.
lable the screws counter clockwise
1-4-5-7-10-11
1 is hot
4 is a jumper to 7 (AUX)
5 is a jumper from hot 1
7 is AUX with a jumper from 4
10 is ignition
11 is headlight
theres usually a jumper between 10 and 11
DOT requirements say when running (ignition) the headlight has to be on
