My old headlight switch burned up. Replacement did too, after I tossed old switch that I used to mate up wires. Anyone have a pic of the correct wire placement? Thank you.

I don't have a picture.....

Main light switch
Looking at connector, one side has two pins, the opposite side has three pins.

I will tell wire colors from top to bottom.

3 pin side:
top pin (#1) is empty
middle pin (#5) is TN/WH (hot at all times)
bottom is LB/RD (#9) (courtesy lamps)

next column of 3 pins:
top is (#4) RD/YE (power in Start or Run)
middle (#8) OG/BK (4WD Indicator)
bottom (#11) empty

next column of 3 pins, which is next to the column with only two pins:
top is (#3) WH/BK (Parking Lamps)
middle is (#7) BK (Ground)
bottom is empty

Last column has two pins:
Top (#2) is RD/YE (Headlamps)
Bottom (#6) is DB/OG (Hot at all times)

This is from the 2000 EVTM. I have no clue whether all those colors will match your year, but the function of each wire should be the same. They haven’t changed that switch in many years.

Thank you.
Is this the orientation you are describing, minus the helpful wires?
