I recently replaced my ignition switch for a troybuilt model xlt 1842 lawn tractor, but I don't know which wires go to the male conections on the ignition swtch. Can you help?

Hi,
Many switches are labelled on the back. An Indak will label the prongs or the back next to the prongs and a Delta will label the back. Also, many aftermarket suppliers will publish the prong labels in their catalog. Need the model number to get the switch number to do that.
Peace,
Clarke
