Need help to find the right wire to solder a heated element to a Rheostat Switch

[curvenut]

Hi ,

I am a new DIY in soldering / electronic.
My current DIY project is to do a heated glove. I have the heated element that can be plugged
to a power bank with a USB A .
And I also bought a switch button to turn off and have the ability to adjust temperature to 3 level. This switch need to be solder
to the heated element wire.

The problem is I really dont kown which wire of the switch need to be solder to which one of the heat element. I tried a couple combination but no result, the heated element is not warm.

The switch I bought it on aliexpess :

But They dont have much information .


The first picture is the wiring I tried , but it doesnt work when I plug it to the power bank
The wiring I tried is as follow:
switch black wire: 1 wire power
switch red wire : 1 wire power + 2 wire heat element


Any one have idea of the right wiring ??

Thanks a lot !


NOTE: I use tape to connect because it is testing for now .

Wiring switch + heat element + power

The heated element is this one :

I believe that switch unit may be for a dual-element system; eg. one low power and one medium power element, and with the high power setting achieved by switching both on at the same time.

Connect red and black directly to the power input positive and negative.

Then try connecting the element between one white wire and positive/red, and see if it gets warm at any switch setting?
If not, try connecting between a white and negative/black.
