Hey everyone. Soooo here's what I did.
Changed my Mira from an H-H with a 3 way blade switch to an H-P90‐H with a 5 way blade switch. Then I decided to wire in a switch that would engage the bridge pickup regardless of what position the blade switch was in so I could get the bridge and neck together (and all three pickups when the blade switch was in position 2). Then I thought it would be cool to hook up a 5 pin LED latching push button to replace the minitoggle I had to activate the bridge. I managed to wire it correctly, and made a makeshift battery pack for the LED using three button batteries, two wires and some black tape. My question is, the two outer pins on the switch are the positive and negative for the LED light but if I hook those to the battery pack, itwill keep the light on all the time. How would I wire it so that the power would only go to the light when the switch is pushed in? No diagram came with it, but the 5 pins from left to right are NEG, C1, NO1, NC1, and POS from what I can make out on the back of the switch. I've got C1 wired up to Lug 1 on the Volume Pot (that is connected to the blade switch) and have NO1 wired to the bridge wire so it does exactly what I wanted it to do there, but what would I have to do to get this switch to only light up when the switch is engaged? Any ideas?
