Is it a inbd or outboard?

My inbd had a bad ign switch and I changed it but what I found out is I couldn't "hotwire" it. Someone a long time ago had wired it so when I shut the main electrical switch off it shut all power off to the dash/ign switch. When the main was on it still wouldn't let me hotwire it.
Friday we were out and it just died. I had no power to the dash or anything.
I found the hot wire going to the controls had broke. The previous owner wired it to go thru the controls prior to the dash/ign switch. The bad part was and is I can't find the other end going to the dash. I found the main red (hot)and black (grd) rolled up together. I traced them out and re hooked them back up to the batteries and then to the fuse panel.
The motor started right up.

I need to flip switches/trace wires and what's not needed in the fuse panel I need to pull out.
