    2001 E53 X5 ignition switch wiring

    I have a 2001 X5 E53 4.4l. I am in the process of replacing the wiper stalk. When I removed the steering column covers I noticed that the PO had done some creative wiring with the ignition switch. I am wondering if anyone would be able to tell me what the PO was trying to accomplish and what the correct wiring is so I can fix it. Thank you!

    Just a wild guess but it looks like somebody might've tried to install a start button
