New Ignition switch, how to install

[1batt4u]

Hi all,

I recently bought a new ignition switch, item 106679 http://www.delorean.com/store/p-6848--ignition-switch.aspx
How do you install it?? It keeps popping out, also where do the wires go?? Mine did not come with a harness on the wires, does it come like that??
The original wires are, brown, green/white, white, and red/white The new wires are, brown, red/white, red/white again, and white. I have to take out the old wires from the originall harness and put in the new wires. Which exact wires do I put in where???

Thank you!!!

Call up DMCH and ask for James Espey. He explained it to me great at Lexington when I did the install during the show.

You basically take of the connect and add on the original one, adding each wire that matches (there should be 1 that does not match) and that goes in the last connector. As to how it is held on there, I think it is a tiny screw. He'll give you good instructions.

I messaged James, but he hasn't been online for 2 days.

Anyone else have this unit?

Anyone can really REALLY help me out here?? :headscratch:

I'm waiting to hook this up for awhile now!!! I've messaged James several times, but no response. Is he away??

Anyone bought the new ignition unit?? Need some guidance!!!!

Thank you!!!

Why are people so shy about the phone.?

Anyway - -

COLOR CODE TABLE
OLD .......................... NEW
White/Red .................. White/Red (light gauge)
Brown .........................Brown
White...........................White
White/Green .................White/Orange (heavy gauge)
Purple ........................ Purple

As for the purple wire, you have a choice here:

1 - Carefully slit the old harness and extract the purple wire. Throw the rest away with the old switch. Add the purple wire to the new harness, tape or zip-tie it together.

2 – Remove or cut it off. This is the annoying key-reminder buzzer wire. If you leave it off the key buzzer will be silenced forever.

Here's how the switch goes. The small screw holds it in.

Its easier just to post, explain and add pictures.

Thank you for the info and picture!!!

So I got the wiring together.

James recommended I shave the outer edge to get a good fit. I did that, but there is no difference. It still does not go in all the way to line up with the screw hole. All that playing/messing around the ignition switch came apart on me.
