    Can anyone help me figure out how to wire up the 3 position fan switch, photos attached? It almost looks like the 6v to 12v resistor is in place to me (probably lacking some asbestos insulating material :eek:). The battery terminal appears to be identified, the fuse block needs some brushing up and a fuse, and then the other terminal wires to the 6v fan. I am converting to 12v, so if I read the archives correctly, the newly bought resistor should be in the power leg before the switch. What do I do with the flakey heat sink that is already attached to DPO switch? Thanks, Larry

    That's an original one Larry , early ones said " air " on them and the later ones said " heat " or "DEF " .

    Anyways , it's a two speed switch and the resistor is for the slower speed .

    DO NOT run 12 volts through this switch ! add a resistor or better yet , voltage regulator before it to prevent overheating the switch .

    I hope this helps
