Hi, I posted a few days ago asking about a bypass switch to run the driver's window on a 90 camry. (A plastic part in the switch panel broke and can't be fixed.) SMS was very helpful in pointing me to a DPDT momentary on-off-on toggle switch. I got the switch (thru NAPA) and I understand the wiring setup needed for the switch to the window. (Thanks again SMS) What I'm not sure about is the ground and hot wire that I should tap off from to connect to the 2 center terminals on the switch.
There are about 18-20 wires running between the door and the main body of the car. (Several were cracked/broken and have been repaired.) As best as I can tell, the white wire with a black stripe is the primary ground wire, but what is the hot wire that I should use? Is it the solid blue one? I'm not very good electrically, but I used a multimeter to test all the wires. (I disconnected the white and blue plugs.) I tested the car-side wires in both plugs, and several of them showed voltage around 12. The solid blue wire showed the highest voltage.
If anyone reading this is familiar with the wiring circuits for the 90 camry, I would appreciate a confirmation (or a correction) that I should feed off the solid blue wire for hot current to the switch. (Am I also right that the white wire with black stripe is the ground?)
Thanks for any help!
I wish I knew more about wiring. And it would help if I had a diagram.
