Ignition switch wires

Alright, so Im building a custom dash, and part of it involves hooking up my own key switch and push button start.

I removed the stock ignition switch, (box that has the rod coming out connecting to key switch). Now, theres 2 harnesses that connect to it, and Im trying to figure out what eah wire goes to. I think I have a few of em, from testing here and there, and any help would be appreciated.

This is what I have so far

BLACK CONNECTOR
Thick Orange-???
Thick Red-12v
Green-???
Tan/white-???

BLUE CONNECTOR
Thick Yellow-starter relay
Thick Red-12v
Thick Pink-Acc
Semi-thick Brown-windshield wipers

Anywho, any help would greatly be appreciated guys.
Thank you
Shawn

Red -12V,
Yellow-starter+,
Pink Ignition+ (power with key forward and during crank),
Brown- Accessory (power on with key back, forward, and no power during crank)
Orange-Heater/AC (power when key forward not during crank)
I believe the green and tan white are for the key sense.
