I am planning to fit a scenelight to back of my 110, simple set up wired to a switch on the dash, not linked to reverse or anything. I was going to take a fused positive feed to the switch and then from there to the scenelight, and then run a negative back to earth from the scenelight. I have bought a simple LED rocker switch from VWP:
http://www.vehicle-wiring-products.eu/prod...h-with-led but it has 3 contacts on the back rather than 2. They are marked +ve, -ve and "A". Can anyone shed any light as to why it has 3 contacts rather than 2? |

OK ignore me, having a blonde moment. +ve and "A" are the in and out for the switch, the earth is for the LED in the switch.

+ Positve, - negative and A is the connection to the accessory you are switching. Steve.
