I replaced my switch with a unit from RMMW this past week. Here is the wiring 
configuration I used.


WIRE		FROM/TO				DESCRIPTION	
Red/Black		switch to starter			12V when in "START" position	
Black		switch to fuse box and ignition coil	12V when in "ON" and "START" 
position	
Black/Yellow		switch to light switch			12V only in "ON" (not "ON" & "START")?	
Red		battery to switch			12V at all times (straight from battery)	
Brown/Blue(1)		door buzzer				connected to GND when key is in ignition	
Blue/gray		not used		


(1)This wire is shown as Brown in book.
