Default Fxcw ignition switch


This photo may help. I want to get item 17, 18 & 4. what do you think guys??
Hi every one, ignition switch was failed on my harley rocker fxcw 2009. Im thinking to replace and upgrade it with FXCWC ROCKER 2011. On 2011 the switch came with a **** (thumb lever) which is used to off/acc/ign the switch position with keeping the key a way from the ignition.
Have any one here did similar change? is it possible to do that? what parts do I need to get more than the switch, **** lever and a nut?

I looked in to this as well, but there are some problems with that key set up, the litte lever (18) tends to fall of apparently on the break outs it was installed on

That could be just the key switch, where is the accessory rotating switch located on that first diagram?

I have the 2011 Rocker C, and as long as you use locktite on the set screw it will be fine. The reason it is only two wires is because the 2011 is can bus wiring, the 2010's and earlier were not. Not 100% sure, but I think you will have a difficult time adapting this because of that.

Thanks for reply. I will work on it and hopefully it become true. Im thinking to use 2-way into 4-way adapter but nut sure if its work. Are the 2 wire in your 2011 one is power from battery and other one is ground? on the drawing one is BK and other is WBE. Can you share a photo?

I am currently in Afghanistan, but I can take a photo when I get home in a month or so, if you have not figured it out before then.
