Took apart my old switch. Between terminals 1 and 2 (the ones which seem to
bridge the signal from the flasher to the indicator on the dash) there is a
green fiber board with a printed circuit running up and down this board. Only
time I've ever seen a printed circuit on a genuine old Sprite part! Seems to
act as a resistance block. When checking between 1 and 2 i get about 35-40
ohms resistance. With the switch assembled and switched off, I get close to 0
ohms, with the switch on park or headlights I get the 40ish ohms. Cleaned the
contacts, put the new toggle on the old switch, seems to all work well. Again
the objective seems to be to possibly reduce the brightness of the turn signal
indicator when the lights are on?
