I would like to use a “4 rocker switch” to power the four windows in my car up and down. See photo of front and back of 4 rocker switch attached.
Each window motor has two wires, one for positive, one for negative. If you switch the two, the motor will go in the opposite direction.
How do I wire this switch for each of the four windows? In the past, I have used relays to power the windows. For convenience, I have numbered the terminals on the back of the switch in the middle from left to right 1 through 8. The two bottom terminals are designated from left to right A and B.
I realize that I can hook the two wires for example from the front driver side motor to terminals 1 and 2 on the back of the switch, and do the same for the remaining three of the motors using pins 3 to 8. If I knew what terminals A and B were for, I would be in better shape, but I don’t and I am hoping someone does. Could they be for 12 volts and ground? (FYI, terminal 5 is about a quarter inch longer than the remaining terminals.)
Unfortunately, I have looked for but cannot find a socket for this 4 rocker switch. Does anyone have any thoughts on how to connect the wires to the 10 copper terminals?
Thanks for your help.
