Answer

I had the same problem and had to buy a new switch off ebay and asked the guy to keep all the wires in the back. This is what it looks like from an 87 GT

If you hold the switch with the clips on the left side you see 6 holes for terminals like this

clip 1 2 3
clip 4 5 6


1. Blue wire
2. Brown with white stripe
3. Thick black wire with orange stripe
4. Medium thickness red wire with yellow stripe
5. Two brown wires that turn into one at the terminal
6. Two black wires that turn into one at the terminal


Good luck
