my switch on my marshall amp just broke so i need a switch i want to use this 20a 12v safety switch to replace it.. its 3 pin and the old one was 4 pin.
this is the switch i want to use.. its 12vac on the package of the one i bought..

and this is the switch that it had.. it looked like this but it says 10a 250v on it

so i tried putting it on and i posted a couple pictures of what i did.. i connected the two white wires together and soldered them to the power terminal and the two black wires to the ground.. the way the wires are configured is 1 w and 1 b come in from the wall.. and 1 b goes to the transformer while the other white is routed to the board.. this is how its wired and when i plug it into the wall the led is lit while the switch is off.. which seems like a problem so i unplugged it really fast.. i was also thinking maybe i need a resistor because the new switch is only rated at 12v.. i really dont get it.. anyone know what to do to make this work?
