The fact that it has 5 terminals on the back has thrown me a bit
I want it to switch an appliance on/off, & to be illuminated to tell me when it's switched on. I also want it wired 'direct' to battery (bypassing ignition) so I can switch it on without needing the ignition to be turned on. Can I just connect a common negative to terminals 7 and 8, and a common positive to terminals 6 and 2, and simply not use terminal 3?
I would also be interested in gaining an understanding of how/why one might use all five terminals - i'm guessing it relates to using the switch only when ignition is on, but even if that is correct, I'm still not really sure where the different terminals would be connected to.
