I'm sure it does. Just thought if I'm going to replace it anyway I'd rather not have it all running through the key switch. Thanks gorno!

BTW, I edited my post above to DCS. Make any difference?

Since you must pass position one to get to position two the motor is still active and now the lights are also.

Thats actually what I thought but when checking continuity i found two totally separate connections. It appears you can only have two separate circuits but not both at the same time. As far as setting the lights to the furthest position I just it doesn't really matter. I just figured I would avoid accidentally turning them on during the day by making it the farthest over.

Correct. This is what you want. Two separate electrical circuits controlled by the same mechanical device (key switch).
