NO hate here,. just brotherly love.....from a distance. 💢
So I got it now, that those wires have been removed / eliminated from the switch making the switch just a head light switch.
No fiddling with the "switch" to go for a ride. Turning truck to RUN position fires up the basic honk, stop...
That's a good idea to modernize the lighting switch and having to remember to flip it on or off to go for a ride. The chance to save the batteries... YEP, but with my luck a TICKET for no STOP and TURN lights.
BUT... I am not so sure of your wiring schematic, as I roll it around in my pea...

Simple...
