There are lots of threads here - all very informative and I think I have this ready to go. The "extra" red wire goes to the new washer pump - i believe it's the + connection, correct?

My only other concern is the little "tab" that is always referenced to falling out...well...fell out of the original switch as it was being removed.

But - I believe the new/repro switches have this tab (for grounding) already riveted in (as seen in pic 2) and i don't need to transplant the old tab to the new switches - correct?

whoops. nevermind.
found it.
Here's a pic (stolen from another thread - thanks @Spoke ) where you can see the tab that falls out.

My new switch does not have the slot cut for the tab to fit into, but instead has an integral metal piece on the inside of the plastic that accomplishes the same thing as I can see it completing a circuit/connection to the brown wire in the loom and brown is ground.
