G'day All,
I realise this is not directly beer related but I know there is plenty of people on here that might be able to help me.
I bought some switches to switch my Amp but also the original rear speakers in my car. The idea is as the speakers that run of the amp are 6x9's in boxes i wanted to have the option to switch on the original speakers if I take the 6x9's out of my boot to give me more space (i have a wagon) but be able to switch them off when the 6x9's are in the car.
So. I have 3 switches,
1. Switches the AMP On/Off
2. Switches Orig RR On/Off
3. Swtiches Orig LR On/Off
Now the switches I got have an LED on them, so when grounded the light should come on when the load is active (turned on) but light should go off when the switch is off...now this works fine for switch 1 (amp) but switch 2 and 3 the lights stay on all the time whether they are turned on or off.
Is this because the CD player (head deck) is already grounded?? or am I not doing this incorrectly??
attached is a simple diagram of how I have it wired
Any help would be great. I am not too fussed that they stay on all the time but it would be nice to have them work properly.
Cheers, Pok
