Hello, had to replace vacuum switch on my CB 1200 (line clear, etc. and jumping the wires allows the feeder to work) and like a fool I did not take note of the wiring connect to the switch. Can someone guide me on correct wiring? It has a red and black wire and the vacuum switch has a positive and negative pole, (which of course usually means red=+) but with my luck it is not based on that and I fry a 130$ plus control box. So, just to confirm for vacuum switch wiring red=positive? Literally cannot find this on any of the troubleshooting etc or the manual. (perhaps because it is supposed to be self evident)
thanks!
