"Newbie Willie here, I have to

"Newbie Willie here, I have to replace the ignition on a 91 Glastron Volvo Penta 230, I need to know the color codes for the wires to the back of the ignition/key switch. I have Purple - Orange - Yellow w/Red Stripes wires. Any help would be greatly appreciated"
 
"Purple: positive of the ignit

"Purple: positive of the ignition coil

Yellow with red stripes: starter relay.

Orange: usually (not always) goes to the alternator. To be on the safe side, you will have to trace this one."
 
"Orange is B+ from engine

"Orange is B+ from engine fuse, normally red on engine but sometimes changes color in the harness. The only cases it might go from alternator is if You have got an AMP meter in the panel. In that case it might go to the amp meter."
 
Thank You both for your input.

Thank You both for your input. I will be sure to check back to see if I can be of assistance to someone else as you both have been for me. Thanks again - Willie
