I suspected the power switch on my D4 of being bad, when I pulled it out though I did find another loose wire. I made a mistake though and didn’t document which wires go where. Looking online reveals that the replacement switch is different and wiring instructions are for the new one and not the old one. The old one is a 6 wire switch, two from the cord, two from the motor and two from the PN receptacle. Can anyone advise on how to rewire?

In the picture the switch is in the same orientation in both, with the offside down.

If the old one is 6 wire, is the new one 4 wire?

Thanks!

 Got everything buttoned back up and ready to go! It is worth mentioning that on the old switch anyways polarity matters with the PN receptacle. On the first go around the pn receptacle remained energized when the switch was off. Switching the wires around solved the problem. Unfortunately they are both black so one just has to guess.
