Ignition Replacement

[2ifbyc]

I have a 95 Force by Mercury 70hp that I need to replace the ignition switch. Does anyone know what model I need or do these pictures help at all? All I know is that it is a "push to choke" type and it has 10 wires coming out of the back. Most of the ones I am finding have 6 wires coming off the back. This one also has some strange red insulation on the back (almost looks like a brain). I don't necessarily need the same one but one that will work for me. Any help is appreciated!

Remove the "brain" and count the poles, some of the poles will have two wires attached

this actually makes good sense. I will try that and come back with an update. If I find that it has 6 or 7 poles or whatever. Is there any criteria for a replacement switch or anyone with that many poles would work?

Better to get a designated marine ignition switch as they will have the push to choke feature which is usually needed to work the choke.
