Thank you! I have been trying to get confirmation on what in the world the additional wires/posts are for (red and black in this case) on these simple switches. It's just for the indicator light on the switch itself. NO impact on the switch functionality.
I bought the same exact switches and I'm trying to convert toggle switches on my boat to these. Basically I pulled my hair out of my head for 4 hours connecting the wires every which way I coul to the existing wires. The only thing that works is that blue light on the switch itself but haven't been able to turn on bilge fan the wires are connected to. But this video has given me some ideas and I will give it another shot tomorrow morning. I'll let you know how it goes.
How can I hook this APIELE 22mm Latching Push Button Switch 12V Angel Eye Ring Light LED Waterproof Stainless Steel Round Metal Self-Locking 7/8'' 1NO 1NC 1 Pack (Blue) up to have the light come on and off when I trun of the switch I took out the yellow wires?
How can I connect this APIELE 22mm Latching Push Button Switch 12V Angel Eye Ring Light LED Waterproof Stainless Steel Round Metal Self-Locking 7/8'' 1NO 1NC 1 Pack (Blue) to plye hydra4ch Bluetooth amp using. 4 3 spot lever nuts ?
Would this be suitable for a outboard engine start button say by the steering wheel ? Saves me leaning over to press the start button on the actual engine Everytime I want to start my boat ?

3:06 Is there a way to wire it so the LED ring is lit when the switch is off so the switch is easier to see in the dark?
Yes, just take the red and black leads coming off the switch to any 12v source of your choosing. The switch will still function the same.
Keyed hot wire,
Slow as heck get to the point
