I recently purchased my first Land Rover. It is a 1979 Series 3 with the Petrol engine. I am already being initiated into the charming project nature of them (which is part of what I was looking for).
My ignition switch recently came loose and in trying to get it back mounted I must have knocked a wire or two loose (I say or two because I found 3 wires loose on the back which may also account for my speedo not working). Electrical isn't really my specialty so I was hoping yall could point me in the right direction. I tested wires until the thick brown wire actually gave me lights on my dashboard, but wouldn't make the engine crank. Below is what it currently looks like.

I currently have three workshop manuals on order, but I was hoping yall could get me back on the road before they arrived. Let me know if anyone can point me in the right direction!
