4 position rotary cam switch

How to wire a 4 position rotary switch and how the terminals line up. In this video it is used for a 4 position blower motor switch starting with off then powering low, medium and high.

This was very specific and helpful. Thank you!

[@joeyjohnson9765]

I ordered this same switch, saving this video to use when it gets here, thanks!

Thanks mate, this is really helpful

Excellent! Thank you 🙏

Thank you

I have 4 12v lights I want to switch from (off - all 4 - just 2). They're currently wired to all switch on together with a relay that switches with the car ignition. I don't want them always on when Im driving so I want to switch them. I can easily make an on-off switch for all 4 with the power leads and an on off from two lights to all four lights, but ideally I want it in one neat switch rather than 2. Would a rotary switch work for that?

[@thelumpycam506]

Missed your comment from awhile ago but yes it would work. This switch has dual connection points where you can connect multiple wires to.

Thank You !

What about the ground cable? This is only for pos & neg, right?

[@thelumpycam506]

This is a pass thru switch, it's not a powered or grounded switch. I used it to pass power thru and grounded the blower motor with a single ground.

I have a 4 position switch like this, quite new but it has stopped working properly, it will only go to two positions and jams in the other positions.
Does anybody know how to open it to try and see what is wrong inside?
It seems to come in slices - perhaps I could replace the faulty slice with a good one from another switch.
Thanks.

Honestly, these are $12 on Amazon. I wouldn’t waste my time trying to fix the one you have.

[@ericstraily8385]

Can you rotate the switch all the way around, or do you have to go back through the options to get to position 0?

[@thelumpycam506]

Not on this particular switch, you have to go back thru to 0. I’m not aware of any switches that cycle completely around but there may be some.

[@ericstraily8385]

@@thelumpycam506 Ok, thank you for your reply!

[@asefamarye7588]

Thank, how about 3 position connection?

[@MuhammadSaad-sl3he]

V nice

[@shankarvaigankar8116]

Can u mount it on din rail. Please reply

[@thelumpycam506]

This particular switch is not designed to mount to a din rail directly, there may be others that are but none that I’m familiar with. You could fab up your own mount to the din rail and then attach this to the mount but you would have to get a little creative.

Wow

[@rainbowforest09]

Is that 3 pole switch?

[@ebachy]

Nope, it is double pole controlling two circuits' on/off status, but it is triple throw because each pole can be directed to three different outgoing wires.

[@wilsonjudy9515]

still confused

[@stuartcotterill9475]

How to mount it?

[@thelumpycam506]

You can mount it a variety of ways, I took the black cover and placed it over the plate I wanted to mount it to and marked where the bolt holes were and the main hole. From there I just drilled and cut until it fit and mounted it in place. It’s different for each application.

[@ebachy]

Thanks for the tip on removing the cover plate (metal looking with numbers) to access the holes. I may scuff it up moving the tabs to release it, but the end result will still look better than drilling screw holes through the cover plate, as I was thinking of doing!
