can anyone help me out on how to wire up durite switches? ie when the indicator switch is pressed the indicator works but i need to know how to make the bulb in the switch light up. and the same for the other switches,kev

Do you want the bulb to flash? If so take a spur feed from the indicator feed to each side and connect it to the light and the other side of the light to ground.

As for the other switches connect on light terminal to ground and the other side to the live switched feed to whatever it is you are swicthing.

If you want them to all light up when you turn the side lights on (more likely what you want) take a feed from the sidelight feed to each of the buld terminals on the switches. The other terminals should be connected together and to ground (-ve)

That help?

yeah but which terminals there are four spare on some of the switches,kev

Argh, now I cant help with that unfortunately. I am assuming its not clear which are the ones for the light?

Do they have a normal light in, not an LED? If so if you put a multimeter across the the terminals in pairs then across the light you will get a resistance, the others will be open circuit or virtually 0 resistance. If its an LED its a bit trickier.

On the ones we had the top two side by side were the sidelight activated ones. The only one we had with extra terminals was the sidelight/headlight switch.
