    Really easy actually. Use your multimeter and measure the connections on your ignition as follows:

    Acc will be the contact which has power when your key is turned to the Acc position

    "on" will be the contact which has power while your car is running

    "start" will be the contact which has power when your key is turned to the start position

    The 3 contacts "should" measure ground when the key is turned to the off position.

    The Black wire is most likely ground, but measure with your multimeter to be sure.

    connect as follows:

    white to yellow
    green to black/blue
    green/white to black

    these are the wires you need to connect.
