The red wire typically connects to the battery or power source, providing the ignition switch with constant voltage. The black wire is usually the ground wire, linking the ignition switch to the vehicle's chassis for a proper electrical connection. The green wire often connects to the ignition or accessory circuits, allowing the engine to start or power other electrical components when the switch is turned on. Always refer to your vehicle's specific wiring diagram for accurate connections.
If there are two black wires, it's possible that it was wired for a ceiling fan and that one of the wires is for the fan part while the other is for the light part. If so, one of the black wires may be switched while the other is always "on." Normally black is "hot" and white is "neutral" (NOT ground... ground is usually green).
You have a 3 way switch. Your black wire is the hot wire. Your green wire is the ground wire. Your red and white wires go to the light and other switch. You should have gotten a wiring diagram with your switch.
This is a relatively simple wiring job. Remember that all a switch is, is a means of interrupting the power coming from source (electrical panel) and travelling to load (light fixture). Without the switch, the light would stay on constantly. The black wire is a power wire and so is the red. The white wire is a neutral wire, and the green wire is the ground. You may have to do some trial and error to get it right as I can't see the actual wiring diagram you have. After shutting power off to that circuit, disconnect the dimmer switch and remove. Connect the two white wires together with a wire connector. Connect the two green wires. The red wire was probably part of the dimmer switch and should now be gone, but if it isn't then just cap it off. Now connect the black wire from the fixture to one of the terminals on the switch, and connect the black wire from the electrical panel to the remaining terminal on the switch. That's it.
Black represents Hot and White common. For the light to operate it needs a white and black wires. The switch box has two cables with a white and black wire plus a ground. One wire is from the supply and the other to the light. Connecting the whites just provides common directly to the light. The blacks go into and out of switch because it is the hot side that is being switched.
3 colors? red black green and yellow? i count 4... red is your active, or live wire. black is return, or negative wire. green is your earthing wire and yellow is more than likely a control, for a switch, possibly a heating fan or towel railing?
there should be 3 wires a green a black and a white. the green goes to the negative post on the ignition coil. black goes to a ground. and the white is for the lights that goes to the positive on the ignition switch.
In the 1995 Chrysler LHS ignition wiring diagram, the primary wire colors are typically as follows: the ignition coil wires are usually red and black, while the ignition switch wires may be red and brown. The ignition module often has a yellow wire and a green wire. For precise identification, it's always best to consult the specific wiring diagram for the vehicle, as variations may exist.

Check the screws next to the wires and see what color they are if they are green, black, and red then do what i say next, if not you're screwd. just connect the red/black/green wires in the holes in the flip switch and be careful not to touch the wires just the protective covering and inert them they should auto lock in there...if not just screw them in.
Neutral switch
Hotwiring a 1940 9N Ford tractor involves accessing the ignition switch wiring. First, locate the ignition switch and disconnect the wires, identifying the battery and ignition wires. Then, strip the insulation from these wires and connect them together to bypass the ignition switch. However, keep in mind that hotwiring is illegal and should only be done in emergencies or with permission.
Just the plain black wires.
To wire a light switch with 4 wires, you will need to connect the black and red wires to the brass screws on the switch, the white wire to the silver screw, and the green or bare wire to the green screw for grounding. Make sure to turn off the power before starting and follow the manufacturer's instructions for proper installation.
sorry need more info what year make and model, is ignition switch in column or in lower dash

The 1964 VW Beetle ignition switch only has three wires. Connect the red wire to the positive post. Connect the black wire to the negative posts. Connect the white wire to the auxiliary post.
I have 5 wires and a 4 wire ngniton witch wires go were on a 1961 cadillac in dash ingnition. Switch
