I have a on-off-on switch. When wired to a light the light only comes on when switched to one side. when switched to the other it doesn't come on. It is a 3 terminal switch.
What is the deal.

You said it " On-Off-On" Think of it like this if that switch was wired to you lights. One side would run you parking lights, and the other side would run the headlight,but not both at the same time.

The chance that you have a change over switch is good. This means that this switch can switch between two lights. In the one position it will switch on the one light and in the other position it will switch the other light on.The middle connector goes to power and the two other terminals are connected to the different lights.
50 Amps are quite a lot, are you sure about it?

You have a single pole, double throw, center off, switch. - It routes power to one terminal or the other
with a 'center off` position.
( In order for it to work correctly power must go to
the 'line` terminal, which should be identified.)
