Light/ignition switch wiring

[vRSG60]

I have a lighting switch that has a 2 position rocker at the top & 3 position switch at the bottom. I also had a key ignition switch but the key broke so I bought another. I've only wired the green to cut the motor.
I will soon need a means of light a set of Pathfinders. I was going to use the key ignition various positions to light one or the other.
Still with me? Good - now my problem.
The key switch has 5 positions and the following coloured wires.
Green
Black/Brown joined together.
Yellow
Blue
Orange
Pink - earth
In position 1 & 2 the key can be pulled out. I have checked continuity over all combinations ignoring green and pink and here's the result.
Position 1 bugger all
Position 2 bugger all
Position 3 bugger all
Position 4 yellow to blue
Position 5 black/brown to orange
This would work fine I suppose. Black/Brown to Orange for Spot. Yellow to Blue for Fog.
Strikes me that the switch isn't working correctly though.

My other option is to use the key for the side or main light and use the light switch for the spot/fog.

I cannot fathom the light switch wiring though. It would seem which ever wires I check for continuity regardless of switch positions I always get a beep :wtf:
The switch wires are - Grey, Yellow, White, Brown, Black and the Red & Blue for low/high beam.

I have looked on line and Sticky's book for wiring but colours don't seem to match.
By the way I have Brown, Purple & Grey wires from the AC Regulator .

Any help will as usual be very much appreciated and I appologise for long winded post. I hope it makes sense.

This is from memory of the light switch wiring,grey feed out to horn,yellow side lights feed out,white earth out to horn,brown live in to switch,black live out to tail lights,red/blue live out high/low beam.

From my other memory the orange wire from the ignition switch joins to the brown wire that goes to the light switch as this needs to be live to work the lights this is powered from the brown and purple wires from the main loom all joined together.

I'm confused now :wtf:

I think you're very nearly right, but I think the grey also supplies the lights and the white is from the horn which is earthed through the switch.

I'll delve further into this.
Thanks Dean

I'd use the ignition switch [5 positions ? is one backwards? meant for parking lights] to turn on the standard lights in the one before last position, then the final click would send power to the handlebar switch to control the pathfinders.
so the handlebar switch will have one feed to the main/dip rocker, then another to the 3-way part.
it will need taking apart and jigging about a bit, but you should then be able to have both pathfinders on at once, or just the left, or just the right.

Of course without doing the full DC conversion it will take you longer to change the wiring than you will ever be able to have your lamps on for...

Thanks Byron that's how I'd like it to work. (Yes one is backwards.)

Yes I know , my problem is getting the flywheel off. The soldering bit I can do in a trice.
