I just bought the following SPST lighted rocker switch from RadioShack but I can't get it to light up:
This is a 3 terminal switch (power, load, ground) and so far as I know, I have everything hooked up correctly. Power is coming directly from a switched 10A fuse in my Jeep's fuse block. The switch activates the solenoid I have it hooked up to just fine but the light in the switch will not come on when activated.
I have hooked up two different switches I had laying around (one incandescent and one LED) and both worked and lit up just fine. I have purchased a second identical switch and tried it out just in case the one I had a bad bulb but it didn't work either. Based on what I have read, but I think the bulb might be neon? If so, is there something special I need to do to get this thing to work correctly?
I apologize if this sounds like a really stupid question but I really know very little about electronics and I'm at the end of what I can figure out on my own. I really would appreciate any help you can provide. Thanks!
Sincerely, Eddie
