No idea where they go in the plug, but maybe the following information will help you if you need to use some relays or switches to duplicate the switch.

WIRE	COLOR	POLARITY	LOCATION
Battery	YELLOW	(+)	IGNITION SWITCH HARNESS
Ignition 1	RED / LIGHT GREEN	(+)	IGNITION SWITCH HARNESS
Accessory 1	ORANGE	(+)	IGNITION SWITCH HARNESS
Starter 1	RED / BLUE	(+)	IGNITION SWITCH HARNESS
Anti-Theft Descript	NONE
Key Sense	BLACK/ PINK	(-)	STEERING COLUMN HARNESS
