Not sure exactly but there should be about 5 wires(or pins for wires) on the key switch for the BB. One will go to the magneto(SP), a hot , ground and access. Maybe Big Block Man or some one else will chime in on the key switch. I put in a junction box for my lights and accessories which will have a larger ground and hot going to it and then you can hook up several hot/ground accessories there with fuses.

well i had a harness made for it and they marked where every wire went to...well i hooked up every wire and nothing happened, i check the ground and nothing going to it.

i guess tomorrow ill try taking all the ground wires and hooking it up to my neg post of my battery

i have one heavy wire going from the starter to the solenoid side post and the other larger side post going to the POS of the battery and i have to top bolts one they marked as ground and the other to charge my battery if i remember correctly if all this sounds right might just be a ground problem
