electrical and ignition Alternate Use for Console Green Push Button Switch

[2002#3]

Friends,

 

I have a (late/'74-'75?) extra red hazard switch which I want to use as a replacement for the green passenger ejection seat button in my '74 tii.  I will reuse the original green push-in button part.

 

I am thinking of using the new switch as a simple manual on/off switch for my new electric cooling fan.  Probably do not seriously need the manual switch b/c an inline thermo will turn the fan on/off automatically; however, the blank green button is not doing anything anyway...

 

Q:  Can the extra hazard switch serve as a simple on/off switch for this purpose?  A wise move?  Should it not be done?  Seems like it might work.

Q:  Which of the 9 terminals/positions should be used for this purposes?

Q:  Info for all of us:  What are the purposes of the 9 terminals/positions on the back of this late switch (solder site, L, 49a, 40, POS, R, 30, 15, and 31)?  Note:  A small resistor connects the POS and the solder site?

 

I searched FAQ extensively and did not find this issue discussed.

 

Thank you.

I use one for the fan manual switch.

Best you review the wiring diagram and figure the terminals you need and for what the listed terminals are for.

Thank you, jimk.  Exactly what I'll do.  Shame to waste a nice spot on the console with a useless button.  Larry
