6-24135 light house switch application

So I don't have to go look it up, what the **** is an 6102045200ABC?

sorry, it is the switch that comes wired to the fastrack O36 remote switching track.

i think it is called a throw switch, push lever forward and switch operates, pull it back, the track switches back to its original position. It has 4 wires attached to it.

the light house base has 4 connecting posts, two for power and ground, two are for the push button switch that is supposed to sound the foghorn that does not sound at all.

can i just hook up the power and ground wires ? seems too simple.

i know nothing about the electrics part of the hobby, unfortunately.

can i use a 12v lantern battery to power this unit while i am working on it on my work bench or does it have to be?

thank again all.

That switch is really for the switch and it contains electronics for the lights, etc.  You want a plain toggle switch to control power and probably a pushbutton to control the foghorn.
