3 Channel toggle switch Wire digram needed
 

OK I have a Futaba 3 channel with just a 2 way switch I'm unsure on how to wire the toggle switch I'm guessing the toggle switch i have has 3 prongs on it so it would be red on1. 2 leave alone and 3 on black. the 3rd channel 2 way switch has 6 prongs, so i just need a wire digram to figure it out thanks :roll::mrgreen: oh yea its for winch controll

I looked on the search and seen the spectrum channel one but was kinda lost on it thanks.

Ummm...which Futaba 3 channel? There are several.

As to "3 prongs" vs. "6 prongs" usually means, the 1st one is a "single pole double throw" vs. the 2nd one is a "double pole double throw". Basically the 2nd switch type is 2 of the 1st one.

Generally, the center prong is "common" and then you "switch" to either of the outer prongs.

I have the Futaba 3PM

hmm
 

I cant seem to figure it out maybe some 1 could make me a digram on how to do it for dummies :cry:

The power wire should go to the middle prong. The other 2 wires need to go to the outer prongs.

Beyond that, maybe LosiKid can help out."thumbsup"

I actually don't have any experience with the 3pm..I haven't heard of its 3 pos mod either


Can you post a picture of how the current switch is wired

Just did some searching, and yes it is possible.

I searched 3pm switch mod

I'll be reading through a few threads to see if i can make since of how this works, i'll try and let you know what i find "thumbsup"

Unless you want a 3way this thread ought to get you up and going

If you want a 3 way theres a few other threads i(or you) can read. LMK if you want a 3way "thumbsup"

Cool thank's"thumbsup" Im trying to have the middel toggle off I thought so the winch dosnt keep running.

with the setup in the linked thread you'll use two buttons. one will do in and stop the other will do out and stop.

When i get some time i'll try and see if i can locate a toggle that will give you a 3way.

Or if you don't want to mod your radio, i sell adapters that will convert 2 pos signals from a radio into 3 position on the rx side. IF you already have a winch controller. If you don't have a winch controller heyok sells a 2 pos winch controller.

unsure if this would work for me
 

Ok I found this post but Im unsure if this would work for me

Yep that should work...may take some digging to find that switch though, well ebay may be your friend

Thnks for your help

Is this the switch you are looking for?

Single Pole, Double Throw, Center Off

Its kinda strange how it works, i think a dpdt (double pole double throw) center off switch will work, but i've read a few threads that says otherwise on how they hook up the mercedes switch and and how the switch works.

+1, from the description it appears to be more of a "staged" switch. Each "toggle" adds in another circuit......I may be incorrect though.....:roll:

I have the swich Im just looking to fiure out how to shut the 3rd channel off I have forward and revers only on the winch I thoght I could have
1 on, 2 off, 3 on, but it just stays on im looking for a way to turn it off.

If you aren't able to find a way to get three positions with that channel, like losikid says, I offer a solution to operating your winch:

Winch Controller for Radio with 2 Position Third Channel

Here Monday when I get off my phone I'll sit down and try to figure out how to do this, "thumbsup" if possible.

hmm OK this is cool option :mrgreen:.
