UNITY LIGHT SWITCH WIRING
Anyone know how to hook up this UNITY switch for my 12V backup light? The light is currently working connected to a 2-terminal toggle switch, but the new switch has 3. The sides are F and T; the one behind the fuse is B. THANKS! UPDATE:Never mind - got it working without burning down the garage.

UNITY is a brand of automotive light products, such as spotlights. I'm using this switch to control a back-up light; my car's transmission doesn't turn it on automatically.
What was the secret to success?

Embarrassingly simple: The two existing wires to the side terminals, nothing to the middle one.

@mh_merc , while functional, it is not appropriate. The power source for the reverse light should be on the middle fused terminal. Your backup light can the be connected to one of the output terminals. I'm summizeing that this is a dual stage switch, and when the second all inclusive stage is selected, you get the functional effect of a single pole switch, but without the designed and desired fused protection.
