Does the switch have 2 or 3 positions? If you take the original one out, (which has 3 positions), with a multi meter you'll be able to match up between them both the common terminals, and connect it in the same way.

Selling a switch that states 'will fit most cars' seems a bit of a stretch!

Does it locate and secure into the dash console alright? Might be a Good find if so..

Thanks, 2 switch, on and off. Its a bit big for the slot, it needs a bit of modding to fit snuggly.

Hope you all had a good crimbo and new year . Now back on this wire farce.
Found a good description of how to wire this bad boy with connections on back from amazon

Great lighted switch. No directions but easily figured out. The red indicator light is the top of the switch. Looking at the switch that way facing you, the bottom left contact in back of the switch is positive and the bottom right is negative. These connect to your fused power. The red indicator light won't work with the negative on the left bottom contact. The top two contacts go to your lights. Observe Pos and Neg here too if you are feeding LED lights.



Now any ideas on how this coresponds to wires, dont have a clue
