The saga continues.... Got the new switch and fitted it BUT although the key operates the ignition LIGHTS

turning it to the right to get the starter motor to turn does not work   The supposed diagram supplied by the supplier of the switch has different colours to the colours on the actual switch   The earth and the power are black and orange  that is pretty clear  The other three colours on the machine itsefl are respectively 

Red / Grey (sort of grey)

Purple which the diagram says goes to the ignition cut out switch and a component I cannot fathom on the diagram

Orange/green/blue 

 

The diagram has Blue / red  and 

Red 

 

The actual wiring is on the photo and I  have downloaded the diagram as a pdf. 

not sure if it will work!

So my question(s) 

Assuming the orange and black are right  What are the other colours?

What colour is equivalent to the missing colours

or was the replacement switch the wrong one?

It was sent on the recommendation of a Countax expert

Personally, you paid over the odds for something that should be a bolt on solution.

 

Don't mess, just return it and get the right one.

 

As whatever you do to change it will bite you on the arse next time 🙂.

 

Plus the old one is knackered, take a wi brush to the back and see what's written and you might have a better chance of finding a fleabay special 🙂

Genuine Countax/Westwood switch is only £35.00, but obviously unless you are near to a supplier you will have postage on that. They are a very common failure item.
