ground wire into ignition switch fell out

[RADICAL RAM]

the black wire that goes into the plug-in that is in the ignition switch has fallen out.
I believe it is my ground?? I put a test light to that wire and the negative terminal on the battery and it lights up when you try starting the rhino.
using the test light it will crank over. Take the test light off and it will not turn over. im thinking it is using the test light wire as the ground for starting it.

that wire has now completely broken off and fallen out of the plastic plugin. I have tried forcing the wire back up into the plugin but it will not work or even make the test light come back on.

there are 4 wire total in the plug. How do you fix the wire that came out I cannot figure it out.

Can you buy a new plugin that I can splice into the existing wires. it does not look like you can just fix one wire. looks like a factory unit to me.

it is an 06 660

thanks
Kyle

You are likely right about a repair on that switch. It is a replacement to fix it to the way it was. That is the ground connection that is switched in by the internal contacts to ground out the coil in the starter relay.

By far the cheapo fix is to get a momentary pushbutton SPST switch and put it into the dashboard. Push the button to start the engine just like today's fancy cars. :-) Or get a sturdy floorboard mount pushbutton switch so you can start it like an antique Model T truck. :-)

The switch only needs to be rated for perhaps half of an Amp at the most. Quite a few people have done this as far as I know.
