Yes it is a momentary dual-pole, 3 way switch. I agree that leaving them powered up is a fast way of killing them.
@ Phantom, yes I am using 2 actuators wired up per that drawing. we must be thinking alike, I thought of that same idea. I am not sure though if I like it. I like the idea of minimal wiring but do not like that I cannot fully control both.
what if I rigged up a switch like you drew, but one for each actuator. Then I choose which one (or both) is controlled by the main switch? Then as I add actuators to my car (can you have enough?) each one gets its own single action switch. They all can run off the one master momentary dual-pole, 3 way switch.
