Help Please: Bathroom Light Switch

[Michael_Wild]

My lovely wife and our awesome neighbour were helping dismantle the original bathroom in our 1978 Sovereign-mid bathroom. They took out the original mirror/storage unit/light and labelled the wires "light", "pump" and "fan". They neglected to label the individual wires so no I am left with a switch with 6 terminals and 5 wires and have no clue as to how to hook them back up.

Please have a look at this pic and let me know if you can be of help. The light switch has a Low/Off/High positions.

On a separate note, this was months ago. I have a "Fan" switch, but no fan now. Was there a fan built into the plastic storage unit?

Is there power in the circuit?
Can you take some voltage and ground readings?
Can you provide a picture of the switch contacts?

Two of the wires are really just one with a jumper. It's probably 12 volt. There is probably one unused terminal, so that leaves 4. You can use a multimeter to check the different terminal connectivity at different positions.

If someone doesn't have the same switch, with some more information, we might be able to figure it out. If you have power, and none of the other wires are ground, then maybe just applying power to them will determine what's what. Got spare fuses?

Download a free electrical schematic for your trailer from Airstream dot com.

It includes color coding.

Otherwise, use a VOM (volt ohm meter) to test for voltage at each wire, and the ones with no voltage, test for direct connect to ground.
