Is this toggle switch wiring correct!!?? I got this new 6-pin toggle switch from radio shack for my QTP cutout. Im just really bad at wiring stuff. I saw a diagram (picture below) and tried to copy it but the cutout still doesn't open when i hit the switch. So take a look and let me know if the wiring is correct.
Thanks!!!!!!!!!
Thanks!!!!!!!!!

Probably no help, but thought I'd post anyway. Is your switch a "momentary" switch? Thinking that's what you need for a cutout. Years ago people were using GM convertible top switches to operate the QTP. A search for "qtp convertible switch" (without quotes) should turn up pinouts and a possible wiring diagram. Hope this helps.....

Personally I think the easiest one to get to is the one that power the cigarette lighter. Your wiring looks good as far as I can tell from the picture. Just in case you don't know.............If your wiring is right and it still wont open and you want to check to make sure the motor on the cut-out is still good just put power to one wire and ground the other, coming off the motor.
