Scott,
Here's a picture of the back of the switch I have. I was unable to check it with a meter so I used a short piece, a battery, and a test light.
This is actually two switches in one. You have two power feeds (hots, positives whatever you want to call them) B1 at the bottom for the headlights and B2 closer to the top.
Headlight portion of switch
Connect the piece of wire to the positive (+) terminal on the battery then connect it to B1. Clip your test light to the negative (-) terminal on the battery. Place the switch all the way up. Touch the probe end of the test light to the terminal on the top of the switch, you should have power.
Parking / Taillight portion of switch
Connect the piece of wire to the positive (+) terminal on the battery then connect it to B2. Clip your test light to the negative (-) terminal on the battery. Place the switch in the center position. Touch the probe end of your test light to the terminals labeled Parking Front and Parking Rear, both should have power.
As a side note even though this switch does not control the power to your brake lights the power for the brake lights is taken from terminal B2. The power then goes to the brake light switch (stop Lamp Switch in the FSM)
