Electrical Gremlin in Ignition Switch - Part 2 900 1993

I made a serious mistake in trying to correct this problem last year by using Di-Electric grease which I squirted into the holes in the wiring harness which attaches to the key switch. Not understanding the contruction of the harness connector, I added too much and actually created a connection between several of the terminals inside this harness (back behind the plastic shroud.) In beginning my chase of possible faults, I noticed that the yellow wire which feeds into the harness showed mild signs of charring at the terminal point. I believe that the excess grease is to blame.

I cleaned off the excess grease and got the terminal connector block back together with the few extant diagrams for this part that I have been able to locate. However, I notice that the extant diagrams all seem to show the wires exiting the wrong side of the block - thus eroding my confidence that the diagram is correct. Has anyone else happened to rewire or replace this harness to be able to advise the proper configuration of these wires? Or short thereof, does anyone have a complete and thorough diagram of this harness?
