So, I got this case and all the wires of the front panel switches were cut. It's not really a problem as I can solder them back (even though it's been a while since I did any of that). Anyhow... The problem is with the Turbo Switch, as you can see in the image there are 3 wires going to it, one yellow, two blue/green(ish). In the past I've only seen Turbo Switches with 2 wires.

So, my question is; does it matter how the blue/green wires are attached?

the middle pin is common, the left and right side are probably normally open and normally closed contacts. so i guess that on a 2 pin header on a board you can make the turbo slow down or speed up.
My 486 build is configured to turbo on = fast and turbo off = slow.
