bypassing ignition switch while waiting for new part

Ignition switch on my 2006 Girly needs a replacement... I resoldered it twice in recent years, this time I will opt for a replacement. While waiting for the new part I'd like to use the bike for minor trips in secure places.

I have a bracelet waterproof 12v switch (rated 20A, bought for auxiliary lights) I could convert for this purpose. The key switch does have three positions (running, off/default, parking lights), so I expected to find four wires at maximum coming out from the ignition switch connector going to the key switch. But they are more :icon_scratch:

I also noted (main harness side) that there are two thicker power wire (12V+), one is brown, the second pink
I just need to run the bike (never used parking lights  :icon_mrgreen:)

Which power wire (brown one or pink one) to connect to which colour wire(s) through my bracelet switch?

Thanks in advance for any tip...

Maybe you needto up your soldering skills 😄

Apologies for the lack of replies😉 I'll be keeping an eye, out for questions now...

Which end are you soldering and how do you get into the switch without damaging it ?
