Default Dumb ignition switch question

I just picked up a 1993 Heritage classic and on the ignition switch on the tank you have, from right to left, accesories, off, ignition and lights. I've fooled with the ignition and lighting setting but nothing changes when switched back and forth. Also when the bike is shut off and you switch from ignition to the lighting setting at times you will get a sound like the bike is trying to fire up. Any ideas?
