If you really need that LED, wire the switch to break the ignition
switched 12  volts, rather than the duty cycle ground from the ecu.

Subject: Switch electrical wiring question


I'm wiring up my Hydra ECU to run EBC.  The Hydra controls the solenoid
via a switched ground.  I want to install a cockpit switch inline on the
signal wire so I can switch between electronic and mechanical boost from
the cockpit, but I know nothing about electrical wiring.

The switch I'd like to use has an LED when on, and three pins on the
back.  The diagram on the switch package says that pin 1should go to the
battery, fuse box, or other always-on power source.  Pins 2 and 3 go to
power and ground.  My assumption is that pins 2 and 3 are the switched
pins, where the signal wire should be routed through.  I'm assuming pin
1 is just for the LED.  Am I correct in my assumptions?  Can I run an
LED switch on a circuit that's a switched ground?

Thanks.
