Help STRANDED @WORK!!! No start/Ign switch
Ok guys.. I Need some odd questions answered in a hurry if possible. I know what the problem is but,.. well here goes.
Car wouldnt start at lunch time. Messed with everything and turned out it was the ignition switch. Well in diagnosing the switch I pulled apart the end of the harness and all the wires jumped out!. I connected the number 50 Yellow to a number 30 red and it cranked.. I can at this point get the car to start if I could only figure out where these wires go back in the round platic connector.....then I can jump the yellow to the red just for the start. HELP~!!

could someone maybe unplug their switch and take a picture of the back of it? That would help if it's an SC and I could see the order of the wires. Since I know what 2 of them are..?
Back of the harness I mean...that plugs into the switch

one more quick question.. anybody know which wires are safe to tie together to power up the car? 50 touched to the 30 cranks it.. which ones are tied all the time to power evrything else?
Figured I could just jump all the ones that needed to be connected and tape them together and just touch the 50 to the 30... I dont have any jumper wire here. Maybe a paper clip in the back since the rest of the switch seems to work?

ok.. can not jump from the rear when plugged into the switch.. when I jump 15 and 30 I get power to everything it seems..If someone could confirm and then I just need to jump the other 30 to the 50 wire to crank long enough to get started??

Well in case anyone wanted to know I jumped the start wires seperately out of the harness and used the key/switch to run the rest.. until
i got to the local Porsche Place Lufteknic and theyre out of stock said they could have me one tomorrow but they were normally $51......then I go to leave and the whole thing died....so I had to jump the rest of the wires...geez... and drove it straight to the garage.... Thanks to Hald- his info was enough to keep me making progress.
