hi

not really familiar with this stuff, thought it would be simple but i
got stuck

I have a preamp (low power) it gets 12v and i have a power supply
also 12v(DC)


i bought a lighted toggle/rocker switch lighted from radio shack

my goal was to just have the switch turn on/off the amp and light in
the on position


the switch has 3 legs labled

gnd

load

power


sounds simple, but seems something is not quite right



I assumed gnd was ok to tie everything to

so i have gnd from preamp gnd from pwr supply and i connected to gnd
on the switch

i assumed load was supposed to goto the pos on preamp

and power whent to pos of the supply


blew fuse i think power also switches to gnd or something i
dunno


anyone have experience with this type of switch from RS and how to hook
it up?


thanks
