Hello, I am making a small electric car. I am planning to have a battery connected to a motor with a switch in between. I found a switch in an old toy that is working. I attached a wire to each of the places on the switch where there was an existing wire. However, since I removed the old wires, I have no idea which wires connect to which parts of my circuit. I know 2 wires connect to the positive and negative terminals of my battery, and 2 connect to my motor. I have been doing a lot of trial and error and I can't figure out which way the wires go. The switch has off in the middle, on on one side, and on (reverse) on the other side. I will attach pictures. Thank you.

Difficult to see where the tracks are connected because of great blobs of glue. However, normally connect battery to centre 2 terminals and motor to one end of the switch. It looks like the tracks will give you the reversing but as I say, blobs of glue are no help whatsoever.
