CBR Ipod Toggle Switch?
So i bought the bike from one of my cousins friend that lives in Iraq.. i ownd it for atleast going on 3 yrs now.. the bike has ipod connection with speakers installed on the bike but before u get to turn it on, u need to use the toggle switch unfortunately one of the wire broke and it doesnt say which is negative and positive.. Im thinking bout replacing the toggle switch with better one but i dont know which is negative and positive.. Now my question is what is the worst thing that could happend if i accedently connect the positive to negative, negative to positve?

Dude - didn't see the cross post until now.

What I said before was:
If he used a two prong switch - it simply connects prong 1 to prong 2 - meaning you can't do it wrong.
If he had used a three prong switch - one prong is supposed to be power, the other ground, and the last to the device. A three prong switch is used if he wanted it to light up. Some of the "don't forget to turn this off" style buttons glow different colours and are great for remembering to turn it off when you get off the bike. With this kind of switch you will have to figure out what the wires did - and look at the markings on the switch. If the markings don't make sense on the switch, then you'll have to test the switch.
