Default Light Switch Guru's Needed

Alright. As most of you know(if you have followed my build) that I plan to use a RXV light switch to control my head/tail lights. On the back of the switch it has 10 pins. Looks as if it's made for a harness to snap right on. Well I don't have that harness and just want to hook up a positive in positive out to control my lights. I can not find a diagram anywhere on this. Is it possible to do what I want to do?

easy, just use a voltmeter on OHMs for a continuity test and try several pin combinations till you find what works.

Okay so I put my meter on the right side second from the bottom and third from the bottom and got a reading on my ohms meter. Is that the 2 connections I want to use?

pictures might help....

Also I like using the audible continuity setting on my VOM. That way when the red and black VOM wires touch each other it makes a sustained beep.

Only if the reading changes when the switch is operated.

Oh then maybe I don't want to use those. That's the only reading I could get with the switch on.

The procedure is attach the probes to any 2 terminals and operate the switch. Keep trying different terminals till you find the pair that reacts to the switch.
