Gents,
I've read/searched for how to wire a Bendix ignition switch. I've removed a dead LASAR system; installing two new Slick mags and new P-leads. The ignition switch is a "Off/R/L/BOTH" switch, not "start" position (separate spring-loaded toggle switch for that)
The current ignition switch wiring has the ground post grounded to the aircraft (probably required for the LASAR system). From what I've read, you do NOT want the magneto ground wires grounded to the aircraft ground, as this could introduce "noise" into the electrical system. That would happen if I don't remove the current ground wire. The ground wire of the P-leads should be grounded at the ignition switch post and at the mags, and that's it.
So if I understand correctly, I'll want to disconnect the current ground wire, and attach the two P-lead ground terminals at the ignition switch ground post. Is this correct?
Thanks!
