OK, as I have mentioned, me and wires do not like each other much. Don't understand it, can't see it, just don't like it.
Well, I got a winch from Super ATV. Control wire, has rocker switch that does not fit into the switch plate. Soooo, I get a new winch rocker switch, and the fun begins.
The original rocker switch has 3 wires on 3 poles, plus an extra wire to be hooked to a keyed hot wire. Now, the new rocker, has 7 poles. What in the friggin hell am I supposed to do now?

The new switch does have lights in it that the original did not, but what goes where. Anybody wanna come to Idaho and help/ Or maybe just explain in buger eater terms how I hook this up?

Thanks

There are multiple switches with the 7 terminals, depending upon which brand name and type of switch will determine how it gets wired up. There should be wiring diagrams for the specific switch you purchased, do a Google search for the wiring diagram or instructions if it didn't come with any.

Well, I do have pictures on my phone, not sure how to get them on here.
Did I mention, oh I did, but misspelled it. I am kind of a "booger eater" when it comes to wires. How do y'all think that carries over to phone pictures?

Actually, I think I may have figured it out. My friend is gonna fix it.
I appreciate the help. I just wanna get it done so I can get out to play.

To load pics, click on the “attach files” at the bottom tight of your post then follow the prompts! Easy peasy
