Ignition Wiring problem?

well my ignition switch was tweaking on me.then today i guesss it like finally died on me.anyways so i opened it all up.messed around a lot then finally figured out how to get it to crank by touching the white/red,black/red,black/white wires together.well i figured that cranked it but i needed to touch the ACC also so my fuel would pump.finally got em all for a sec but then couldnt keep it together. I cant remember real well.but there miiight of been a pop sound when i stopped.i dont know if my mind is making me believe that or not...anyways.. i realized even if i did that it wouldnt run because i would need the white/red and ACC to stay together to run my pump. so i finally put the ignition switch back to try to test it again.didnt work. took it apart. So i wanted to test cranking again.And guess what??????? It wouldnt crank!!uuurrrr i hear like a relay or something when i touch the white/red and black/white together. so I know its the black/red wire. Have any idea whats up with it? i checked my fuses and they all looked good!! so im not sure what to do now! my voltmeter is broken so it made me even more mad!! well..if you have any idea's thanks for helping ahead of time!!!!

Did the switch let you at least power up everything? even though you couldnt start it? if it does, i would put everything back together and just install a "push button start", that would solve it and looks cool too.

well.it powers everything.yeah thats what i was gonna do but now it doesnt want to crank anymore when i ground the 3 wires together. so i think some problem is with the black/red wire which cranks the car. I put the white/red and black/white wires together and i hear a click from relay or something inside the engine bay. and i messed around a lot with this today and finally figured out i had to touch all 3 together. because when i pur the white/red and black/red together nothing happens. so that means the white/red(I believe power) and the black/white wires are working.

fuel pump is not powered by the ACC circuit. You have things mixed up.

putting the white/red (12v) and the black/red (50 crank wire) together should crank it
