Default clutch safety switch wiring

this is driving me nuts, I've looked all over and can't find the proper wire routing for this switch. I am trying to finish installing a couple things on my alarm, and need to have a diagram or at least an explination of the wires. When I unplug the switch each plug has 2 wires, one has 2 red/lt blue casings, I know this go to the starter solenoid and the whatever ignition module I can't think off the top of my head. But the other plug has a wire with a black casing I think with a stripe, and I think a yellow wire or some sort. I'd have to double check the colors, but can anyone explain to me what each wire runs to? Would be very appreciated!

One is for the back-up lights. Other is the switch. All the switch needs is a loop. You can stick a wire in both ends of the plug and the car will crank without being hooked up to the transmission.

Right I understand that, I just need it to finish up some inputs for my alarm system. I've browsed google quite a bit to see what each wire leads too but so far can only find the 2ndary side of it, and every other diagram shows one lead or wrong wire colors.

Thanks ALMOST STOCK, I'll take a look at that later when I'm home, hopefully it'll give me something useful!

well I took a look through the diagram, took a little bit to find it, but unfortunately didn't seem to help with what I needed to find. I have the 2 red/lt blue leads but I'm pretty certain I dont have 1 red/lt blue lead in and thats what I find on the diagrams. i'll have to take a look at the plugs in my switch again and get the colors right
