Ford 555 TLB
I have been having trouble with the ignition in my 70's model Ford 555 TLB. I attempted to replace the switch, but between multiple pig tails of the same color, and my own haste, I botched the job.

Now I do not know the order that the wires were in. I traced them back to the harness and found the wire colors. My problem now is that I can't find a wiring diagram that matches the colors I have.

The wires coming out are:
Red
Yellow (possibly used to be white)
Brown
Brown with yellow line
Yellow with brown line (smaller gauge)
Bugged together Yellow and Yellow wot red line (both smaller gauge)

My Switch positions are
1. Battery feed and light switch connection
2. Accessory
3. Thermostat or ether start
4. Gauge, warning lamp, and ignition
5. Safety start switch and starter solenoid


Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Travis

Thanks Dale -

That looks like the ticket. I need to go double check the wires and switch to confirm.


Thanks again!

Thanks Dale. That's a step in the right direction, but I'm still searching for a match on wire colors. The fact that the accessory switch is not used and that terminal one gets 2 wires in that diagram are helpful. I'm guessing that on mine the heavy red and brown go to terminal 1.

I have searched the internet for hours and not found a matching color scheme.

Here is what I've got:

Well.... You may have to deduce wire function/switch position by tracing wire to other end and determine what it connects to....

I have the same exact setup on my 555. Did you ever get any answer that worked?
