forward reverse DPDT switch wiring

[@deerwhispering]

Frankly, very difficult to see. Perhaps different color wire? I appreciate the help, though.

Spot on Shawn - used these many times in the past. One I can remember was when I made a remote rudder for my wooden boat.

[@shawnmrfixitlee6478]

Miss ya Malc !!

[@mrviala357]

This worked great. Thanks for posting this video.

Is this the same way you wire a 2 speed blower motor ???

[@shawnmrfixitlee6478]

no, this is for forward/reverse motor operation, thanks

[@nickholashaney9289]

Can those 2 power in the center be connected to the same source/ fuse slot?? To say power a window motor in the tailgate of my Bronco? Was going to just use an add a circuit with this toggle switch.

[@Tnapvrvideo]

Very helpful. I assume that this would work for an ON-ON DPDT as well. And, for the two middle power connectors, can those wires simply attach to the bus wire? Are there any situations using a DPDT to throw a Tortoise switch machine that might prompt the use of a resistor? Many Thanks!

[@nickholashaney9289]

That's a good question, I was wondering similar situation as me wanting to just plug in an add a circuit fuse pigtail for a window motor they only have the one wire on the load side. I dont want the magic smoke

Thank you so much I’ve been looking on how to wire this switch for forever

[@Jack-gl1tw]

This video was extremely helpful

[@an_what]

Now how does this work on a three wire motor with white red and black wires I know the white wire is Live Wire and the red and black is the forward and reverse but how would you wear that to this

[@RustyGlovebox]

Great tip and very useful info Shawn. Thanks

[@txknightrider82]

so this will provide 12 volt forward and reverse , i wonder if these will work for my 82 firebird headlights ??

[@frankdoyal6450]

by the way,, great video. I followed you wiring instruction for the reversal and forward of my Diy Epson direct to garment printer flat bad. I have just one question,,, there is a PF motor wire use to be connected to the motor coming from the main board (2 prong) would it be safe to connect it to the 2 post which only have the 2 cross wires to it??

I've got an illuminated switch. 12V 20A, 24V 10A 7 1 4 2 5 3 6 1-outgoing pos(+) for lower lamp 2-incoming 3-outgoing pos(+) for upper lamp 4-outgoing 5-incoming (+) 6-outgoing 7- Neg(-) for lamps Can this switch be used as reverse polarity switch in a motor?

[@shawnmrfixitlee6478]

Yes BUT .. Do not over load the switch , AMPS ARE EVERYTHING WITH SWITCHES ! thanks for the watch..

[@valisapps1254]

ShawnMrFixitlee I have zero experience with electronics, how not to over load it?. It's a 24v Razor Quad.

[@shawnmrfixitlee6478]

NOPE , You will get the magic smoke ! To many amps .. You need relays between your load DON'T TRY THAT !!

[@valisapps1254]

ShawnMrFixitlee thanks, so, should I get another switch? With more amps?

[@shawnmrfixitlee6478]

I don't think they make one heavy enough for that much DC draw .. DC amps ! You need a DC 24v motor controller .. EBAY is your best bet !

[@AmateurRedneckWorkshop]
