Thanks for the details. I have a hard copy of the Rootes Factory
Workshop Manual and that is what I was going off of. The color diagram
on the Tigers United page does not seem to indicate which terminals on
the switch to attach the wires so it didn't help me even though it is
pretty.
I just wanted to make sure I understood how it works. I'll Ohm out my
switch tonight to see which terminals connect to what at the different
position of the switch. I'm not confident the correct switches were
with my Tiger when I got it.
Since it doesn't seem to be explained anywhere I can find, is one of
the wires grounded in one position and the other wire grounded in the
second postion? Or, is one of the wires grounded in one position and
both wires grounded in the second position. These switches seem to
allow either way.
I'll do some experimenting tonight.
Thanks,
Bob
