what i listed is fed by the acc wire which is red and yellow

the blue and red goes to the starter motor

the black and yellow is the main feed in to the ignition switch

the red wire is the ignition live

if you look at the diagram i posted it shows how the switch works.

when the key is turned to the start postion all the none essential things such as radio a/c and so on are turned of to allow more cranking power these are the things controlled by the acc wire.
