Ignition wire identification help


Recommended Posts

So I went to start my car last night when working on it and i noticed that a wire was hanging down out of the front of the ignition switch. I then noticed a little smoke coming from that switch when I turned the key or something. (not sure when it exactly happened, I just saw the smoke and took my key out before i made it worse)

 

Now I am talking about the two wires that go into the front of the ignition by the key bezel. NOT ANY OF THE HARNESS WIRES. On my car both of the wires are black, so they have apparently been replaced or fixed because on zcarsource.com they arent black.

 

here is a link of the whole ignition lock and switch and the wires I am talking about are the only ones shown.

What are these wires called and what do they do? My ignition still works and starts the car. is it for the accessory option of the ignition?

 

Thanks,

Matt
