Lucas starter switch wiring
 

Hi Chaps!
Can anyone help?.

On the back of the starter switch there are 5 connections, 2 of which
are double and 1 single. The connections are numbered 1,2 and 3.
Number 1 spade connection is the single one. Numbers 2 and 3 have
double spade end connections on them.
Am I right in assuming that the single connection( number 1)is for a
live feed from the battery?. If so, what wires go from the other
connections on the back of the switch ( numbers 2 and 3), and to
where?.
Hope I`ve made it clear enough!.
Regards
Martin

The quick and easy way to solve this problem is to use an ohmmeter or
continuity checker (even a battery and light bulb) to check for
continuity between the various terminals in each position of the
switch.
