The details are here... Switch D4 and below...
Factory OEM switch for the D4C SE (Special Edition) and D4C model Rainbow. This switch first came as pictured in the early version D4C that came out in 1986. Rexair then changed to a new design switch that did not have wires attached. The new version had six holes that you would stick the wires into. Inside each hole was a spring loaded catch that held the wires in place. Over time, the factory found that this was an inferior design and went back to the four wire system. If you have the previous design that has six holes, below is how you connect the four wire system.
There is no hot and neutral in this application.

You can find a wiring diagram here, Rainbow changed the switch and this is how you wire in the new switch.

SOURCE: Rainbow D4C power switch replacement
As far as I know, that switch with 6 terminals is still available. But if not, I would wire the 2 for the power head and the 2 motor wires together. Then you would have 4 leads to attach.

The 2 clear side panels come off, remove the screws there, then the top will come off and you can get to the switch from there also.

Switch is not serviceable.
I think you are talking about old model switch (originally installed in your Rainbow) To remove 6 wires from the switch - push a pin where the wires go into the switch. It will release wires so you can pull them out. Make sure to draw a diagram how to connect them back.

SOURCE: I need to reassemble my rainbow e series electrified hose handle
Yes, it is a ground wire. When you put it back together, make sure that the two halves of the hose handle are holding the wire up against the metal. I just had one apart the other day for the first time and if I recall correctly, the wire goes near the center for reassembly. Hope this helps!
SOURCE: I have the new power on/off switch to replace the
Simply pair 1 each of the power head leads and motor leads on to one terminal and wire the cord as on previous switch.
