I'm looking forward to hearing more about this MP46. Several of this type sold today at a local auction for about $6-7k.

This worked. I connected another wire to ground and connected it to the other side of the switch. Thanks!

I've been slowly modifying and improving my little excavator. I recently wondered if it was possible to have the light switches illuminate when in the ON position. I popped a switch out of the dash and disassembled it and was surprised to see an LED and resistor installed. I'm not an electrical...
