The wiring to my ignition switch on my '79 cabrio was butchered from an alarm system install that I removed. I have a switch from a donor car that I plan to solder all the wires to the originals from my car. My only question is the 2 main red wires from the ignition switch. Does it matter which connects to which? Do they both engage at the same time? They both come from terminal A on the CE panel. I attached a picture of the switch I plan to connect and the butchered harness.

The two reds are interchangeable - they connect together within both the switch and CE panel. They are both always on battery direct connections.

The two blacks are switched ignition feeders (15) (interchangeable - they go to a single switch pin)

The yellow is the starter (50)

The grey is the parking light feeder (P) (on with key off/out)

The black/yellows are the switched accessory feeders (X) both connect together within the switch (bigger one to CE)

The red/black is the switched power Radio Feeder (R)
