    Ignition Switch Wiring question

    Hi Everyone. I applied the padded vinyl to my dashboard today, and while it was curing, I started to wire the ignition switch. It should be straightforward, but there is a glitch in the matrix. I only have one question. The FFR wire harness manual says "Connect the brown wires to the “ACC” screw. If running a 1-wire alternator, do not attach the brown “Alternator ign” wire, it is not used, zip tie or electrical tape the “Alternator ign” wire back against the harness".. I don't have a Brown wire that says 'Alternator Ign'. I do have a Brown wire that says 'ACC FEED IGN' and a smaller Brown wire that says nothing. I'm guessing that I should ignore the manual and just attach the two Brown wires to the switch. Looking for confirmation. Thanks in advance.

    The only one you need is the ACC Feed IGN. This is what powers your fuse panel ACC circuits. I didn't use the other, which I assume is your un marked wire for my standard alternator. Not sure if it's needed for any modern alternators.

    Thanks Dave. It annoys me when the manual says one thing and I'm looking at something different. I appreciate your help.
