In line I have either a SPDT or a DPDT switch (how do I tell, it has three leads but three positions one marked 1 the other marked 2 with the center position as the third).
[...] once I turn the switch to the 'OFF' position it is only a matter of time before the 9V blows.
when it was off the switch was just looping the current back to the battery.
