Re: WDM Q#9 200 82

posted by  someone claiming to be Art Benstein on  Thu Nov 8 14:55 CST 2001 [RELATED]

Checked out an ignition switch from an '87. I think they are all the same. It matches the function in my WDM circa '85.

It consists of six separate spst switches. All six have one contact in common, term. 30. Five are 'break' or form B contacts at term X, R, 15, 50 and S. Two cams operated by the key positions work against the springs to open the switches. The make or form A contact is the P term which makes when the key is inserted.

The cams are configured to allow the contacts to close when there is an "X" in the corresponding position in the function table you see in the manual.

Terms 15 and X and 30 are doubly pinned, hence 10 pins on a switch with 7.

Nice day to prowl the yard. 75 degrees.
