What are these Connectors called??

You are mixing two different wiring standards.

For DC circuits (used in automotive apps) the standard is RED is positive (hot). Black is negative (ground).

For AC circuits (used in residential wiring) the standard is BLACK is positive (hot), WHITE is neutral (should be same as ground), and GREEN is true ground.

AC and DC electricity is NOT the same.

While I agree with you in principal as that is how it should be, The reality is Black is NOT always Ground or DC Negative on Mopar factory wiring. The Ignition Switch wiring that we are discussing is one such example. There are 5 wires from the Factory Switch:

Red -> 12V + to Switch
Blue -> IGN 1 (Hot when Key is in Run Position)
Brown -> IGN 2 (Hot when Key is in Start Position)
Yellow -> Start (Hot When Key is in Start Position)
Black -> ACC (Hot when Key is in ACC and Run Position)

The suggestion that:

Big red = power
Black should always be ground.
Match the connector to the connector and all should reveal itself.

Is incorrect. Black is NOT always Ground and if you run the Ignition Switch Black wire to ground, you will have a straight short soon as you turn the key. Something will get damaged or blown.

Just pointing this out because as Rob said, Not everyone can read a schematic. Assuming that Black is always ground can bite you.

I respect and appreciate all of you guys input but it is important that we keep accurate information out there for those that do actually use the search function.
