Are you talking about the ground wire?If so it is best to attach it to a PT mounting lug.

Some rocker switches have a separate pin for the lamp inside. See the spec sheet or data sheet for the switch itself, Mesa didn't make the switch, Carling or somebody did.

thanks for the help! but where would that be??

Wait, there is a safety issue here. EXACTLY what wire are you talking about?

I am talking about an extra connection on the power switch itself beyond the normal two wires.

Stokes is talking about the third wire in the power cord.

If you connect the wrong thing to chassis, you can have serious problems.

How about a photo?

this may get you in the right direction. It's from a Mesa 50 Cal.

Must be your computer or ISP, his photo was there in his post and also within the quote box in your post.

Perhaps the hot comes in vua one wire, and after the switch it goes to the rest of the circuit AND to the pilot light.

I sent the pic to your email address aj.

GREEN - from lead 1 to the pilot light
PINK - from lead 1 of power plug to pilot light
PURPLE - from lead 2 to fuse
