    Hi,
    Generally speaking the charging circuit will travel through the wire supplying the switch/harness (usually red.)
    Was it not a simple plug on the back of the harness? Could it be you purchased the wrong switch (many look identical outwardly.)
    Peace,

    Hi,
    Did you try Yazoo's site for info?
    How about:
    Stens - The Parts Company
    Prime Line Power Equipment
    Who both are aftermarket distributors. The last one shows the terminal configuration in the Catalog.
    Peace,
    Clarke
