How to Wire - Vans Flap Switch ?
Would someone be kind enough to show me how to wire the tabs on the standard Vans flap switch that comes with a 9A. It has 6 tabs on the back.
It is a (ON) - OFF - (ON) switch. I do have the AeroElectric manual but I probably need a copy of Electrical Airplane Wiring for Dummies instead.
A diagram or description of what wires go to which tab would be nice.

/1 2\
|3 4|
\5 6/
Connect the - power to 5 and 2
Connect the + power to 6 and 1
Connect the flap motor leads to 3 and 4
If the motor runs opposite what you want you can either change power leads or switch 3 and 4...
an alternative is:
Connect the - power to 3
Connect the + power to 4
Connect one leg of the flap motor to 5 and 2
Connect the other leg of the flap motor to 6 and 1
This does the same thing.....

Our VP-50 wiring diagram here shows how to wire it. Just focus on the flap switch part.

Worth a thousand words
Thanks guys
That did it for me - I think it was the jumper part that was getting me.
I hope to take the EAA Sportair Electrical class once one gets closer to my home. I am starting to use the tools I got from Stein (shameless plug). Now I just need to learn how to use them correctly.

Here's an image of wiring the flap switch from one of AeroElectric's schematics.

You can put some markings on the wings at the various flap positions (which I intend to do) put not sure how visable they would be at night. The CFI I did some transition training used this method for flap deployment.

The diagram for wiring this is also on one of the Van's OP drawings for their electrical harness.
