Ignition switch wiring

JahJosh

Hey guys I recently broke my key to my 1986 b2000 manual. I started to swap over everything for the simple toggle switch and push button start but I’m struggling to figure out what a few of the wires are for. There’s a small red/black wire and a small black wire. Along with a small pair of wires that’s red/yellow green/black that was disconnected in under the steering wheel. Can someone point me to what these are for. Thanks!

You might want to just replace it instead of cutting into your harness. Here is a very inexpensive replacement ignition switch that comes with the lock cylinder and a set of ignition keys........

About 15 years ago I found that I could unlock my '88 B2200 door locks with my Nissan Frontier key, or just about anything else, so I had no security. I purchased a pair of door lock cylinders with keys from RockAuto and retained my original ignition cylinder, so I have two Mazda keys on my key ring, and it doesn't bother me at all. I also have a truck toolbox key, key for The Club, and house key on that key ring.

So I agree: buy the entire set, such as like Axel posted.

Friend and I just installed a new ignition switch, both door locks new, and new lock for the fuel door. But dang, my kit was $100 from ebay, not the super low price $19 Amazon switch posted above.

Did I get cheated?

Who knows? I have not ordered one of these cheap Amazon kits yet, but I probably will and I might order another one from a different manufacturer......just to compare them......and have them available if I need it one day.
