Check the switch for continuity on all posts/wires with the switch NOT powered, first. This is the same as Mr. Wizard stated. Yes, you can use the older switch if it's functional.
First off you can "power" the switch with whichever wire(s) is/are the neg(s) to either the battery pos or neg as long as you put the switch pos wire(s) (whichever ones they really are--several seem to work!!! )on the other pole's wire from the battery.
You can swap wires to the motor and get it to go in or out (reversing the two 12v motor wires makes it go in or out) So you can go INSANE swapping battery neg and pos and motor neg and pos and then there is always an extra wire left over (five on four) so you can't do both in and out like it is supposed to unless you know the SECRET. :( Also the two black wires are great for which one blows the fuse while the other doesn't. Argggh!
Somebody please let me in on the American Technology method to go where the Lippert switch went. Even a 7-pin onto a Chev with its funny wire colours wasn't this bad! :)
