carling rocker switch - very quick question....
Hi all, quick question about the connections on the back of the switch. There are three. I know the two closest to eachother are the for the actual on/off function. I have connected the "+" here. all is working fine. I am assuming the the third pin is for the backlight on the switch in which case i am assuming that you connect the "-" here?

I don't think i'm explaing myself very well.......

If the light on switch is on all the time just swop the live wire connection with the load connection at the back of the switch.
