Anyhow I think we may have to go back and do some more continuity checks on your switch, then we will know how to wire it.
We're always here, and the coffee is always hot

I'd like to make a global observation regarding Hobby-Machinist. I stand continually amazed at how helpful everyone on this site seems to be! That goes for members of the staff who have routinely responded and guided me on how to navigate through some of the technicalities on most effectively using this resource, continues with the many obvious expert users who are so willing (no, 'eager') to help others through specific challenges, and reaches all the way down to us neophytes who, for one reason or another, have a fascination with machining but no immediate venue to pursue it. In my case, throughout my professional career (from which I am now retired), I always needed a high-energy hobby to vent. I'm Type A/OCD; can't help it. Progressing through my personal machining learning curve, I recognized two things early on: how much there is to learn and how little I actually know. I also became keenly aware, unfortunately, of how limited resources are in my local area. That led to a pattern of investigating a small handful of blogs on the internet and, somehow ended up with my discovering Hobby-Machinist. Am I ever glad I did!
I can candidly say I have never been involved with a resource in which participants at every level are so pleasant. I'm sitting in front of my computer trying to think of adequate descriptors and, I must say, it's difficult. The list is quite simply too long. 'Professional', 'knowledgeable', 'helpful' all come to mind, but I find myself gravitating toward a single overriding adjective: courteous. It's quite clear to me that I'm dealing with individuals who have far more knowledge in machining than I will ever know, but there is no hint of arrogance or superiority in anyone's responses. That's refreshing. And it's a life-lesson for all of us that goes well beyond machining.
Mark, I'm responding to you because you're the last who posted a helpful comment on what I perceived to be an essentially dead issue until I had a notion to resurrect it. But I hope ALL of you who have responded to this or any of my other posts recognize I'm speaking to you as well. A hearty, 'Thank you to the Hobby-Machinist community!' And I love a good cup of coffee.
