Do you have an 85 wiring diagram. If not these can be read:
https://www.ebay.com/itm/185863646739

start (RB?)- goes to the Subaru harness and ECU and starter solenoid
ignition ON (B?)- goes to ignition ON subaru harness (10 amp fuse)
Battery + from hot post 15 amp fuse (connected to alternator)
alt warning light (BW?) connects to VW blue wire

other through T7 round connector

Plus look at previous link provided.
