    Need help with motor switch wiring, please help!

    Ok, back home and ready to try anything. When you say connect directly to the motor I'm not sure what you're meaning.

    I also checked the connections on the commutator reading a fairly consistent 1.5 all the way around, no conductivity between the commutator and armature, and resistance on the wires to the brushes (red and white) is also 1.5.

    Ahh, I see. The field is connected to the yellow and black wires and I'll test those. Pulled everything off the switch, resistance between the two field wires (black and yellow) is 1

    The field connection appears buried under some paper, the only black lead I have exposed is the switch end of that black jacketed cable.

    Used 14 gauge wire. Was able to test all connections except the field wires, everything is reading .5 or .6

    @waross So what I have now is from the wall I have White (hot) Black (neutral) and Green (ground). I have the hot wire going straight to the right brush, it's the white motor wire that's coupled to the blue wire outside the housing. Green is grounded to the housing. The neutral wire is connected...

    I have a motor for a stair climbing dolly I need for heavy equipment, the wiring needed to be replaced and I'm failing at wiring this properly to the rocker switch. The switch has 6 terminals, the corners are cross connected.
