That is the correct number of wires assuming that you have a heater. There are actually only 4 contacts on the switch, 2 of the 4 contacts are shared among two wires.
1= Lights main supply/regulator A1 output (This is where the juice comes from) 2= ignition switched/warning light 3 = starter solenoid field wire 4= heater/radio supply feed.
As a bit of trivia (since I have the book open), fuse 2 protects, the gauges, brake lights, flashers and the horns. Fuse 1, which is generally not used, protects the cigar lighter, and the yet to be seen factory under bonnet light.
Totally unprotected are the following:
Heater/radio. Overdrive relay and solenoid. Ignition coil. All lights inside and out.
Kinda scary huh?
