That switch with the spade connections looks like it came from a newer vehicle.

spotted this Job-Rated panel getting gas at the super market on the FB

Traffic jams back in the day were probably a li'l more uncomfortably toxic...makes my head hurt looking at this multi-column stack of CO2 belching classics lacking in adequate air conditioning and vented seats 👀

spotted this C-1 at the Conoco over on the FB

no more mixed messages...looks like they are on the same page here

Hand brake works good for stopping up to about 20mph...that's the word on the street 👈

If the switch itself illuminates so that it can be seen in the dark, then you will need power to the switch...also, if the switch is variable such as a dimmer instead of toggle, then power is required full time.

12VDC inside a house is something that I have not seen, but have seen that used to operate landscaping lighting. If it works, why not keep it...tho if replacement parts are not available  then it's time to think about upgrades.

The only time I have dealt with power at the light was when a pull-string switch was used for an Edison base in a closet or small room or the entrance to attic space.  I ran lights in my attic operated from a toggle at the entrance to replace the single Edison base bulb light, as I had leftover materials from another project and converted some of the attic into storage.

I spent a LOT of time in blown insulation attics, and the only thing that helped was to wear a woodworking mask to keep from inhaling the irritating dust.  When I didn't and was moving around too much up there, I regretted it for hours afterwards.  I definitely had to hit the showers afterwards as I would be covered in itchies.

another view of that Tucker that wiped out during testing  👀

saw this big B-3or4 ahead of a B-3or4 work truck stuck in traffic on the FB 

truth in advertising...YMMV

that truck could have been modified sometime after it left the factory...apparatus installers usually did some really professional work so that the aftermarket equipment installation looked seamless with the factory build.
