    Ceiling fan replacement switch, zing ear a05 possible candidate
    As most on here, one of my ceiling fan's speed control switch exploded, linking to the inevitable run to Lowe's only to find out that the standard switch is a no go. Which in turn lead me here, I have tested the wires to see what combinations got me where and here are my results (mind you, w/ the exploded switch I could not tell which wires correspond to what... )

    There are four wires Orange, Black, Purple, and Yellow.

    Y-O-B = Low
    O-B-P = Medium
    Y-O-B-P = High
    P-Y-O = Off
    B-P-Y = Off

    The only switch I can find even remotely similar stats on is the Zing Ear a05

    CeilingFanParts.com - Switchco Products - Pull Chain Switches

    Switches available at Ken's Electronics, (Wholesale & Retail Electronic Parts) Kalamazoo, Michigan

    Now Lowes's also had an eight hole switch, could that be a possibility to get the correct connectivity? I am trying to find the cheapest, most convenient solution, so any help is appreciated.

    Thanks for your time,

    Andrew

    black= AC power in = 3
    orange = out to reverse switch = L
    yellow = 1uf from capacitor module = 1
    purple = 2uf from capacitor module =2

    have been trying to find a switch, local hardware, wal-mart and Lowe's all have a switch that cycles
    off , L-1, L-2, L-3
    need a switch that cycles
    off, L-3-1, L-3-2, L-3-1-2
