Hi All,
Im wiring up a camper trailer and trying to install two switches to control one light. After research, I learnt I will need two SPDT switches. I couldn't find the right style SPDT switch, however, I managed to get my hands on the correct style DPDT switch. My thinking is I will only need to use one pole for it to work the same as a SPDT switch.
I managed to wire the circuit correctly in order to control the light from both switches, however, I can not figure out how to get the switches to illuminate or if its even possible in this configuration. I have attached a schematic of how it is currently wired and a link to the switches Im using.
Im hoping someone can kindly point me in the right direction to get these switches illuminated.
Thanks so much.
Kris.
