Re: WDM Q#9 200 82

"Curiouser and curiouser. (Do you recognize the source of that phrase?)"

Well, I'm not sure... but the white rabbit told me if I'd just follow him, I'd find out!

"Inquiring minds want to know which Green WDM are you looking in?"

TP 30678/1 (1984 Wiring Diagrams, US & Canada).

"They show differences in ignition switch layouts. The Bentley indicated different year models on the 3 pages you cite."

Interesting thing about those Bentley switch drawings... check out Fig. 20 & 21 (pp 390-8 & 390-0)... they repositioned the order of the terminals, but they are electrically identical. And on the wiring diagrams, the switch is shown with the same terminals for all years ('83 - '93).

My bet is that none of the drawings in Bentley are exactly correct (for that matter, I don't think the drawing in the Green book, p 1, is exactly correct, either). I wonder if the ignition switch is actually two switches: A 3P4T switch (terminals 15, 50, X, P, R) and a SPST switch (terminal and S), with terminal 30 internally connected to all the poles.

I'm going to the salvage yard today to pull one (it's a lovely sunny 72 in KC today). I'm gonna get this sucker figured out one way or t'other.
