Heres a circuit diagram for the same 4 relay set up.....courtesy of Transamcountry.com forums....

Also helps to disaasemble the switch and clean and lube the contacts.

Tony heard about the other switch (thanks to talking to Leigh  :bow: ) and that planted the seed  - couldn't find the info, so came up with the diagram which he made on the Monday night after the Top Gear weekend, except for the direct to the battery its exactly the same :)  thanks for the formal diagram, resolves a longstanding problem with this switch.  :thumb:
