Can't find the right ignition switch
My parts supplier gave me the ignition switch with the pot metal housing. It's not right. I need the switch that's smaller in diameter with the plastic housing.
Mazdatrix has the one I need in their picture advertising all ignition switches but doesn't specifiy which one it is. Autozone shows the right one as a picture. CSK shows the wrong one as Niehoff and the BWD brand is the right one. No detailed explaination about a choice. Napa shows the wrong one as well.
What's what?!

The electrical portion of the ignition switch is the same for 81-83 models.

You might want to post what year you have next time instead of us having to look at your profile. :-)

Opps I did have '82 GSL in my text but deleted it to write something else. Forgot to add it again! My fault!
Yes, Joey that's the style I have. I'll post a picture of what I've got here. Mine has a jumper wire on the 4 prong plug on the two unused terminals.

Mine is the one on the bottom. The new one is the one on the top. They're wired differently also.
My plugs are:
4 prong-
-Black
-Red w/ black stripe
-Red w/ yellow stripe JUMPER
2 prong-
-Red w/ white stripe
-Black w/ yellow stripe
2 prong-
-Light blue
-Black w/ white stripe
1 prong-
-Black w/ red stripe
On the new switch... the blue wire is switch with the single black/red wire, there are more yellow wires, the white wire with red stripe is in a different place, the plugs are different etc etc.

the one on the bottom looks more like an 84-85 one?
