Hi there.

I've bought one of these switches to be used for a different purpose so I was wondering if anyone on the forum knew what the individual pins are for so I can wire it up :D

Pins 2 & 4 short circuit when wiper is in.
Pins 6 & 8 short circuit when washer is in.
Pin 3 is 12 volts + for the green 'on' light.
Pin 7 is panel light +.
Pin 5 is panel light - to dimmer switch.
