Default Newell Battery Merge Switch Functionality?

On the dash is a three position switch labeled "Park Only Battery Merge".

During a walk through at the factory the tech commented mine was one of the very few original equipment merge solenoids he had ever seen. He said replace it immediately as they had a very high failure rate. He suggested I just find a starter solenoid for a Ford that was rated for continuous duty and do the swap. I haven't started shopping for that yet and wondered if anyone had a suggested model that they had tried and are satisifed with. I am also a little curious about why the switch has three positions. I think center is off, down is on and I get the dash icon indicating I am merged, but I have no idea what happend in the up position. Nothing as best I can tell for now. Anybody know?

Thanks, Russ
