The Superfluous Ignition Debachle
So here we are again...
This time I can't identify some wires and I'm looking for some help to get by till my new switch gets here.
My schematics, found on the foxed website dont seem to include two of the wires attached to my ignition. They are the two wires connected to the center of my switch( colored Rb and just B size 18 - 20g wire) pictured below.
And what is this doo hickey behind the ignition? It was attached but not now. Any clues? ( Wire colors are Ry and G, also 18-20g wire.)
This is what it looks like when I open it...

Your "doo Hickey" is the buzzer switch that attaches to the Ign key switch. The plastic nub on the side makes contact with the steering lock plunger. When pressed, it completes the circuit to power the warning buzzer. After shutting the car off the buzzer is active untill you pull the key. Removing the key, releases the spring loaded steering lock plunger which is pushed up against the column and off the switches nub. This breaks the contact inside the switch and shuts off the buzzer.
