I need a wiring diagram to tell me what wires go where on the switch its self. my plug has had some of the wires pulled out and a few cut ones around it and i need somthin to go off of. I spent an hour looking on google but nothing.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1JsF7KEV8uQ <<<<<< this one has what order the wires were in on the plug.

The pug with all the slpices on it whent on the middle prong.
I show to have 12v to all of them except the small tan wire that is some how running all of the lights when i touch it to 12v.

Also will the car not turnover when the colum is droped? I put the key in it to test some other stuff and it wont turn over now???
