Instrument Light Switch

My Cal 33-2 with the Yanmar diesel has a 6 pole 3 position toggle switch on the instrument panel. Center is off, one side is on, the other side appears to be momentarily on.
The "on" side goes to the tach light, the other side goes to the oil temp buzzer. I am assuming this is to silence the buzzer, then the switch springs back to the off position.
Is my assumption correct?

Re: Instrument Light Switch

I would suggest you remove it, Tach light can be on all the time ! Engine oil PRESSURE buzzer should never be switched of unless you like rebuilding engines.

Thanks, but I'm just trying to understand the current configuration.
