Ok, after a bit of searching I came across some marine applications for switches, which led me to tractor trailer mods. Anyway, if you get tired of rocker switches, there are some rotary switches in a Carling Contura V switch body. very cool, I just got mine and I will be replacing my wiper and blower motor rocker switches with a rotary style. it uses the same terminals and body as a regular rocker, and can be with an LED illuminated (for back lighting) as well as an LED for each 'ON' position. simiar pricing... I got mine from Master Electronics: https://www.masterelectronics.com/

I ordered this switch part number: RV26D2FCEHB-K4C which is Blue (On - position 1), Red (Off - position 2), Amber (On - Position 3). I really wanted Blue/Red/Blue but there were none available.

I will post pics once installed, but wanted to let the community know about rotary switches in a rocker switch body. 3 Position Rotary switch in a rocker switch body

How does the cost compare to the typical Carling type rocker switch?

Went back to your post and saw the part number. Was able to get the price, about $30. More expensive than a standard rocker switch, but the rotary action of the switch could be a good option for certain applications. I didnt realize Carling made rotary switches.Thanks for the post!
