    Greetings this is my first post . . .

    I have a '96 4runner, with a 4 cyl engine and manual trans.

    My rig was stolen this summer and when i got it back, the ignition switch had been torn to bits.
    I installed a GPS tracker for security and am planning to connect toggle switches and a start button to replace my hacked switch and harness.

    My rig is a '96 but the wires in the ignition switch and wire harness match the '95 schematic. My ignition switch harness has six wires, the 1996 schematic shows five wires. The extra wire is blue/red (Accessories).
    Any clues as to why the 95/96 cross-up?

    What I am trying to determine is what circuits are opened and closed as the switch turns.
    There are two separate positive leads from the battery do they need to stay separate as the switch turns?
    Lastly, does the ACC circuit that is closed in the "Acc" and "On" position need to be open in the "Start" position?

    hopefully, my questions are clear enough . . .

    THANKS! for any and all help
