    Err...that's backwards. An "open" switch is one whose electrical contacts are open, e.g. not touching, and does NOT allow current to pass through. When the switch is "closed", the two sides of the switch are electrically connected, and allow current to pass. It's more like a drawbridge: in the "open" (up) position, nothing can pass, while in the "closed" (down) position, traffic can flow across the bridge.

    yes you have me there ..but it was a figure of speach ..im geussing your going to now give me wrong for my spellig mistakes


    very funny how you guys come out the wood work WOW .......all stay silent untill some one fucks up (CALL YOUR SELF GURUS )

    instead of criticizing me WHY DONT YOU HELP THE BLOKE OUT ..I WAS USING THE DOOR SENARIO AS I WAS THE ELERTIC CURRUNT

    im geussing im no good you now you can now take over ..to be honest i now cant remember if it was the green or red wire i was going to state that i will post pics of mine BUT NOW I DONT NEED TO

    but since i used the door senario ..you americans even spell colour incorectly any ways there was my help i was going to post pics

    why bother .

    at the end of the day a switch is basically a door or a gate or a bridge or a gate call it what you want

    i had to edit my posts as im colour /color blind i realy cant tell if gray or green they both look the same to me

    Ground wire does not get connected to the Switch. The Switch is only allowing the +12V power to either pass to the ALP or Not. The Ground will go to usually any Metal screw that is screwed into the chassis.

    Sorry, I do not run the LI's so I am not sure if you can tap power from the switch to run both units at the same time.
