Expert Reply:
For your application you need a switch like the Pollak Heavy-Duty Toggle Switch # PK34218 which has on-off-on positions and a 50 amp rating. Check to see which of your 3 wires carries constant 12V power and then use that one to apply power to the remaining 2 wires to determine which one is for the up and down functions. Once you know this (and you know that you aren't exceeding 50 amps) you will wire the up and down wires on either end of the toggle switch with the constant 12V power wire in the middle.
