A tip for anyone using the battery disconnect method of finding out what is on #1 etc on the switch.......make sure to turn off/ isolate the battery charger, a properly wired charger will power up the circuits by itself so it will appear you have battery power.....misleading......good hunting.
The above is strictly my opinion.

bud37 - great catch. This makes me a little concerned that the guy who "corrected" my selector wiring did the right thing. Hope he did not cross things up so the electrical is now reversed from factory set up. I suppose if there is anything messed up, some breakers will pop before electrical shock or stray voltage is produced. I really do not like messing with electrical stuff. I can almost sense a burning smell just thinking about it. Snowing like crazy in Green Bay right now. Temps going down to 0 Fahrenheit this weekend. 8-) er
