What's going on there?

Is that a toggle or slider? What sort is it? (#P#T)

What's the OT wiring? I see yellow, green, orange and black. Is this 0-4-8-16 ohms?

i cant seem to find the style switch. its a 3 way toggle. it has 4 terminals on the back. i remember using a continuity tester to figure it out when installed. but now i cant remember and want to figure out which way is 4 and 16.

yellow green orange is the taps . black is the ground

IMO, this is easier to do on a rotary switch.

With a toggle, if you can find on-on-on 3 position, it should involve running the black to one side bridged all the way up and the green, yellow, and orange go on the other side. I think that's right. Something like this? http://www.ebay.com/itm/1pcs-Chrome-DPD ... 43a9295bbb
