Ed. You should have 3 contacts on the switch machine, the common contact connects to the frog and the power from the rails (or buss feeding the rails) get connected to the other 2 contacts. If you get a short after connecting the rails to the contact you would need to swap the 2 rail connections.

I have isolated the frog so I'll have proper contact when the turnout is thrown either way. I'm using an older twin coil switch machine with auxiliary contacts. Where do I connect the frog? I've touched every place on the switch machine with a wire from the frog but I don't get any power. The switch machine works fine. Where do I connect the frog? I'm using a spdt toggle. I'll be grateful for any help.
