[QUOTE="Rashaddd, post: 5068677, member: 592162"] So I've got these switches, if I have it just hooked up in a straight loop, positive to positive negative to negative, if I turn the switch on, the switches light turns on. If I turn the switch off the switches light turns off. So I take that negative wire, and send it to my amp's remote turn on socket. I turn on the switch, and the amp turns on, I turn off the switch and the amp turns off, great. But, the light doesn't turn on at all anymore, which I would really like for it to turn on when its in the on position (indicating to me my amp is on). I'm assuming what causes this is the input impedence of the amp? Any of you electrical experts have any suggestions for me to get the desired effect I'm looking for? I've tried running a separate wire to ground the switch, but that just makes it so the light will turn on, but the amp wont. I could use some help asap [/QUOTE]
