I bought a used turn signal switch. It doesn't have any markings on it, so I don't know what brand it is. It has 7 wires. My question is, how do I figure out which wire goes where?
found this but I learned real quick when I was changing the style of switch on my truck that a handful of alligator clip jumpers was my best friend. I got to make sure everything worked as ir should before making any connections permanent. https://diagramlibrarymps.z21.web.core.windows.net/57-chevy-turn-signal-wiring-diagram.html
Can you include a picture? Maybe someone will recognize the brand. Also you might search eBay for a look alike that may have the brand name. Then you could google for a wiring diagram. Worth a shot.
Most seven wire switches are similar in regards to wiring. Wire colors may vary somewhat but the functions are pretty standard. I found this article to be informative. https://www.restore-an-old-car.com/add-turn-signals-to-an-old-car.html

The one I bought is similar to the diagram that is linked above has. Before installing mine I hooked it to a 6volt lead and bench tested it with a series of four bulbs. This way I confirmed it worked and that all of the listed colors were correct.
