I want to remove the ignition switch. What wires do I hook up together to do this? Thanks,

I can tell you how I did it on my Tecate without cutting a single wire... More than likely you'll be able to do the same.

Take the front plastic off, the ignition switch should be connected to a harness which will simply unplug.

The switch itself is threaded and there is a plastic nut on the backside which holds it to the plastic fender.

Use a large wrench, channel locks, whatever to remove the plastic nut.

Afterward, the switch should come out of the plastic fairly easy.

You should be able to dissamble the switch by taking out a few phillips head screws or hex nuts.

After you take the switch apart, you'll be able to turn the key hole without the key in it (use a screw driver) turn it to the ON position.

Then simply screw the switch back together. Put everything back on and viola! No more key needed.

It was maybe a 2 hr. project for me. Required tools: phillips and flat screwdrivers and channel locks.
