Subject:Re: Fwd: Rigging up spare Rear Defogger Switch to do other stuff

I have 2 used stock switches in my hand.
Testing with a 9 volt battery.
Polarity doesn't matter to either light.
The amber external light only lights when the switch is on and doesn't
care which large pin has power. Switch off, light off.

I'm tempted to open one up.
