OK -- I'm having real issues with the ignition switch (keeps locking the steering wheel at the most unopportune times) and have decided to disable/by-pass the steering lock and switch....(Its my semi-race car guys)

Today I popped off the plug on the back of the switch and it has 5 wires --

(30) Red = is the main power into switch
(50) Red/blk = to starter
(15) Blk = to fuse block
(S) brn/blk = to door switches

and now the mystery wire -- it labeled on the plug as X and it is Black/Yellow -- it isn't listed in the wiring diagrams and I would kind of like to know where it disappears to in the loom... Any Ideas??????

My new panel isn't getting here until Tues/Wed and I was doing some prelimiary look seeing to figure out how to do the wiring and this has got me vexed...

ANY help would be appreciated

the orange numbers show where they are on the test plug in the engine bay

also, from what i see on the diagrams the black and yellow wire on the ignition goes to the light switch. Look at E1, x black and yellow goes to H x black and yellow.
