How to Wire SPST Lighted Toggle Switch With Three Terminals
Updated 07/16/2024 | Published 01/28/2021
Question:
JR illuminated rocker switch part 37212045. There are three terminals. One is for +12v. one is to the load, and the third is a ground for the red light to work. Two are silver and one is brass. Is that a clue? Which is which? The package doesnt say and the web has conflicting information.

For the JR Products # 37212045 Illuminated Rocker Switch the wiring is as follows.
The terminal that does not match the other two (brass) is the ground for the internal switch lamp. This should go to a chassis ground. The center terminal is the power out to the item you wish to power. The other terminal is your 12 volts input from the battery.

JR illuminated rocker switch part 37212045. I have two of these switches. Switch one has two silver terminals (on one end and one in the middle) and a brass terminal on the other end. Switch two has two brass terminals, one on each end and a silver terminal in the middle. How do I wire these? Do I wire each differently? I'd like to understand which terminals are power, load and ground for each switch.
