If I said that half clear enough to follow. Look at the drawings to see what each contact on the ign switch does. The switch is drawn with everything in the off position. Basically 50 is starter, X is lights and load-reduction relay, 15 is ignition, panel power and everything else that hooks to the 15 wire along the top of the drawing, SU is the seat-belt warning, and P (unused) is powered only when the switch is turned off.
