OK, hooked my multimeter up and set to Ohms. Hooked one lead to the 4 post and got the same reading with the other lead hooked to the 1, 2, 3 posts alternately. Without plunger depressed I get OL, with the plunger depressed I get 0.00.

So I hooked up the old switch and one lead to the 4 post and with the other lead to the 1and 3 post I get OL without plunger being depressed and 0.00 with the plunger depressed; however with the leads hooked to the 4 and 2 post there is no change in the ohms whether the plunger is depressed or not.
