Stihl TS 420 ignition module

I bought a Stihl TS 420 (2014 model) about a week ago and the guy I bought it from said it just needs a new ignition coil/module. Well, I opened it up and it did indeed need a new one, in fact, the ignition module was missing. No problem, I ordered one and when I got it, I noticed it only has one terminal. It came with a wire to go with the terminal and a grounding wire. My problem is that the kill switch has a blue and brown wire coming off it.
I heard that there is an older ignition module that is three bolt but as far as I can tell, that is only for the TS 400. I have to believe that a 2014 model has the two bolt.
Okay, down to my question. First, what are the functions of the blue and brown wires? Two, is there a way I can make the ignition module work with the kill switch? Thanks in advance!!!!

    One to ground and one to terminal on coil. The blue and brown wires are connected to the switch, so 1 would be ground and the other wire when you turn the switch to stop will go to terminal on coil thus killing spark. If you have a multimeter with Ohms, you can easily check it
