The new switch has a "N" and 75 that are not on my old switch. Could "N" be same as "K"?

Thanks

David

Sorry was not meant to be a trick question. I just don't see how N = K

Population growth rate declines with population numbers, N, and reaches 0 when N = K.

I think creaturecat was linking your diagram to the photo. When comparing the two your n corresponds to the k. I would want more assurance than that.

I can't say about the K terminal, but N is for your license plate and ashtray light.

I see in the image above that K is marked as the ash tray and high beam indicator light, so they likely are the same.

It is accurate.
