curious about the "extra" terminal on right side of this switch
my '84 factory manual does not have it in any diagram -
(manual incorrectly refers to a diagram of the wiper switch)
i put a new one like this in a couple yrs go & it works fine with nothing connected to the mystery right terminal (iirc there was nothing attached on the old switch)
asking cuz i just had to re-adjust mine cuz the movable section has a tendency to drift leftward for unknown reasons - which can allow the rig to start "in gear"
(per manual , the movable section needs to be clockwise rotated to the right stop for correct operation) ( ... so this time mechanic's-wired it so it can't move )
picture clearly shows the right-hand tab & a brass trace all the way to the left -
(i checked to see if it goes to ground, but it does not, and iirc it is not "hot" with ign on)
What's it for?
