I want a switch that has 2 distinct non-momentary states (say UP and Down) and a momentary state. In both states (UP and Down), the switch should be able to go to Its momentary state. Exactly just like a turn signal handle switch in a car: up, down and in both states we can have high beam.

What type of switch should I use?

  • \$\begingroup\$ Simplest solution is, as you wrote, to get a turn and light switch in a car parts shop. There is low probability, i think, to get general purpose switch of such type due to low demand. You may consider to replace it with separate switch + button, to make it yourself or adopt any car switch, depends of your demand. Could you specify your target? \$\endgroup\$

You need to use an automotive 'on-off-on' momentary SPDT toggle switch. Please ensure that the current rating of the switch is adequate for your requirement.
