Hey Matt, et al.,
Thanks for all the advice. My first concern was
that the switch isn't a simple SPST but rather, it has
many terminals. What I have learned is that the
switch activates the map light AND the courtesy
lights, which operate independently otherwise. And as
Matt says, every car seems to defy the known
schematics.
