I am in the process of installing a new YnZ wiring harness in my 49 1/2 ton. I didn't make very good notes when I took the old harness out or pictures of the way the switch was installed. I can find no markings on the terminals indicating which is which. Anybody out there who can enlighten me? Thanks

According to my reprint copy of the service manual only 2 terminals are used on the 49 switch.
Use an ohm meter to determine which 2 have continuity when the key is on and lose it when the key is off. It won't matter which side of the switch is hot. It just goes in and out.

I installed a NOS ignition switch in my 52 1/2 ton about 2 weeks ago. It was not marked either, so I just tested all 3 terminals with my VOM. With the key in the off position all three terminals are insulated or open. With the key in the on postion all 3 terminals are closed or conducting. Pick any terminal for the BAT connection, then the other 2 will get voltage when you turn the key. I finished all my wiring last weekend and it works great.
