V8 3.5 Ignition Switch Wiring.

I have a Sebring with a V8 3.5 engine in it.

I'm sure the wiring is from the Rover donor car.

The wires have been pulled from the ignition switch and I am
not entirely sure which ones should go where.

The pic shows the ignition switch and the terminals are arrowed
with: Battery-Ignition- ST and ACC.

The wires colours are: Red-Yellow-Black/White and Black/Blue.

I don't want to guess as I like the car and don't want anything burning out. :oops:

Thank you.

They are not standard ignition colours!! You are going to have to find out where they go...

One of them will be a permanent feed from the battery which you could find with a test lamp. The other three are probably accessories, ignition, crank engine.

So dab the permanent feed on each one in turn and see what happens.
