In these standard 5 pinners, 85 and 86 are always a power and a ground to the relay coil. All they do is "throw" the switch. Can be wired either way.
Relay is "normally closed"/connected between 30 and 87a.
When activated by power to 85/86, Relay switches to connect 30 and 87. 30 and 87a opens.
Power released, back to 30/87a connection and 30/87 opens.
30 is known as the input.
87 and 87a are known as outputs.
85/86 Trigger.

John, It's hard to get a feel for a posters feelings, goals, purity and originality depth. I did learn early that you don't want a 6/7 switch, you want the 700. No question. So focused on that. I got the feeling you were not worried too much about pilot lights. Now I see you are not adverse to total mod of the switch and circuitry and want to press forward now that you have the understanding of the unique 700 wiring, that's great. The comment I made was to give others with a 700 switch an opinion, option, direction and reason. if they do not want to or are unable to, mod and create circuitry. Stating that we did provide the mission goal. I am with you, the original poster, to help. Did not mean for you do give up. Marines don't give up.
