ahno, the switch has an LED lighting when the switch circuit routes power from supply to powered unit. Switch feeds power to ground and thru the LED.

Are you sure you mean this? That much current through an LED would destroy it in short order. In parallel to the current path, perhaps. But not in series.

The switch has three terminals, power, ground and switched. The LED is
internally switched and I'm sure it has a resistor as well.
