wire color code ????

[fishweed]

I have been working to find an erratic electical problem on my boat. Today I took out the ignition switch to check it and clean the contacts.<br />The color code of the wires are not on the list that I have. Can you help???<br />The motor is a 93 Johnson 200GT.<br /><br />Wires are:<br /><br />Yellow/Black<br />Yellow/Red or Orange(hard to tell)<br />Purple/White<br />Purple<br />Red/Yellow<br />Black (ground)

Thanks Hooty!<br />You saved me allot of head scratching and wire tracing.<br />I need to invest in a better manual soon.
