TCS Switch wiring for purge? I can't figure out which pins are which on the switch itself. Can anybody help me out with this? I've seen 4-5 sites on the web where people used the switch for this, but I can't find any instructions on which pin is which. (i.e. acc. / power / ground / etc)

Re: TCS Switch wiring for purge? Can anybody please help me out here? I took a multimeter and tried figuring out which pin was which. My car is prewired for TCS, but it does NOT have TCS.
After checking the voltage and getting some readings that didn't quite make sense, I tried checking the continuity for power/ground on the switch itself.
Here's a generic pin layout:
ººº

The top left pin and top middle pin had continuity, and the top right and bottom left pin had continuity. Therefore I assumed the bottom right pin was the accessory. I hooked up the power wire for the purge and used the same ground I had before, but it didn't work.
Any insight here???

Re: TCS Switch wiring for purge? Cannibal, can you get the same printout for the Foglight switch on the birds?
I would greatly appreciate it.
Also, if you can get it for the 3 harnesses on the pass side fender, that would be greatly appreciated as well.
Thanks.
Ryan.

Re: TCS Switch wiring for purge? thank you so very much, you are the man.
Im assuming you work for a dealer, or similar.
Do you know of any stand alone software that a consmer can purchase to get similar info?
I have similar CDs for ford stangs, but cannot find similar for the f-cars.
Thanks in advance.
