Thanks for the help. Unfortunately, it is not about terminals it is about wires only. No terminals show. Mex shows six but there are five wires. No idea what goes on inside the switch.
The Lippert switch is easy to understand since it has two white wires that both go to trailer ground. The three remaining wires are also easy since the middle bhack wire is for trailer battery positive. That leaves only two wires to pick which one goes where to get IN and OUT right.
This switch I want to connect also has five wires, but you can't figure which are the two that go to the same place. The two blacks are not the same like the Lippert's two whites.

EDIT--yes they are according to the new switch diagram, but not if you use the yellow as the red like I was doing :) What an episode!
Only hope is that the company has a diagram on its website showing how to adapt theirs to Lippert's. That is what I am asking for, or else I have to wait till mid week to get some help (I failed to note at the RV shop that the package did not contain instructions for which wire is which, and also did not ask them while there. I screwed up. )
