I am trying to wire a Federal Valor lightbar with a built in arrowstick. The bar is controled by an interface box. By applying 12V+ to the arrowstick control wires it will activate left, right, or center out. Im trying to do this with the least amount of switches as possible. 12V+ can only be applied to 1 wire at a time. I've looked online for switches but can't seem to find what I need. Basically an off-on-on-on type of rocker. Is this considered a 3-way or 4-way?
I'm open to other suggestions as well.
Thanks in advance
dave

Look up rotary switches in Mouser or Farnell.

You will have to use 2 rocker switches or a single rotary switch.
1 Single Pole Double Throw On-Off-On. To give you off, center out, or send power to the Single Pole Double Throw On-On type switch to go either left or right.
Or this rotary switch for Off--Left Center out-Right
