Hot Wiring 1986 TRX350

I have a 1986 Trx350. it recently lost all power to the bars. After some digging I figured out the key switch was bad and only working sometimes. I really need the wheeler this weekend so is there anyway to hot wire it for now? The wires off the switch are as follows (not in any order) red, red/black, pink, black, green, black/white. Can I rig a toggle switch in there somewhere just for the weekend? I saw a picture of the black and green on one side of a toggle with the red on the other. when I connect black to the red or red/black the oil temp light come on, then goes out but no neutral light and no cranking. if I touch the green to the red or red/black it blows the fuses. If I can rig this thing up with a toggle switch what wires should be on either end of the switch? Thanks. Picture attached is what I found randomly in google images.

I had the same issue. My switch went bad and wasn't able to get one before the ride. A switch in between the red wire was what I did. Down where the switch wires hook to the chassis wiring. But looks like you unhooked from switch itself. I still have my switch on mine and it's stuck on. The red kills all power. Not sure if that helps or not.
