Look at the drawings to see what each contact on the ign switch
does.  The switch is drawn with everything in the off
position.  Basically 50 is starter, X is lights and load-reduction
relay, 15 is ignition, panel power and everything else that hooks to
the 15 wire along the top of the drawing, SU is the seat-belt
warning, and P (unused) is powered only when the switch is turned off.
