Q-tec electric cut out wiring question I bought a used Q-tec elec cut out. The only thing I dont have is the wire that go from the switch to the cut out. How can this thing be wired up with out used the missing wires/plugs? Basically all I have is the red wire, black wire & a switch. But Im thinking about buying on of those two way rocker switch 
. It has like three or four prongs on the back, where the Q-tec switch has 8.. Can that be done? How have some of you wired yours up? Please give detailed wiring instructions. Thanks, Vann

You want a double-pole, double-throw, center-off
switch. Then you wire the power/gnd to the center,
common terminals and the motor leads in an "X" to
the outer terminals.

That takes care of forward and reverse. There may
be limit switches that make things slightly more
complicated, dunno about that in your particular
cutout's case.
