electric rear window switch wiring...please help....

[83 chif]

My dash switch for the electric rear window on my chero went bad, some I bought a three stage toggle switch at radio shack. I can't figure out how to wire it though. Are the two brown wires hot or grounds? I don't really understand why there are two reds that merged and a single black ground. Can anyone help me out? Thanks....

Sorry, your best bet is to suck it up and pay for a new paddle switch. IIRC, BJ's Offroad has em. And you won't even have to re-adjust your tailgate after installation! LOL!

Besides, you'll like having "normal" operation on your window instead of adding another 2 minutes to the 10 minute lecture you give people when they want to borrow your truck.

hmmm......

well thanks for the tip, I didn't really know that I could still get them new. The only wires I'm playing with are the four that run to the switch on the dash. It seems like it would be really easy, I just can't get the combination right. There is one ground, and four hot I think....anyone else ever played with the switch?

I have a good used dash switch here.

i called around, and one of my friends just picked up a waggy for the 360 so i'm going to grab the switch from there, along with the motor for a spare. thanks anyway....i'm going to forget about that stupid radio shack toggle switch....
