The terminals are numbered on the back of the switch
T 1 = brown white trace cable
t 2 = 2 number white cables (may be on common lucar
t 3 =white red trace cable
t 4 = nothing if you haven't got a radio!

Hope this helps!

Brown = live feed
White = ignition switched live out - should go to fuse box.
white/red = starter solenoid circuit - dont forget box loom connector.
Anything esle = radio non ignition but still switched feed.

Sure you all new that anyway....:-)
