Re: OFF-1ON-1&2ON rocker switch for nav lights???
I used a rocker switch with 6 terminals. I believe it is a DPDT, but not positive. Your switch may be labeled differently, or the terminals in different locations, but hopefully this will help you. I don't know how this diagram will come out, but if you had<br /><br />1 2 3<br /><br />4 5 6<br /><br />as the contacts, this might make sense.<br /><br />Basically what I did was wire a hot into both center terminals (2 & 5). This was my input signal. I came into one, then made a small jumper to go to the other.<br /><br />Then, on switchleg one (1st switched item), I wired my anchor light (pin 1). Then I made a jumper from here to the opposite side, of the opposite switch leg (pin 1 to pin 6). What this does is ensure that my anchor light is on in either posistion the switch is in. <br /><br />Then I wired my nav lights into pin 6 as well. You could do them into pin 3...either will work. The switch is on-off-on, and wiring in this fashion will get you what you need. There are probably a million switches, so yours may be different, but this does work. BTW, this was a Carlingswitch water proof switch I had.<br /><br />Good luck!
