Hi all

I am replacing the cast button in my FT and am using an automotive style LED with the switch and lamp in the one assembly. The problem is that there is no common lug to attach the diode to - just 2 lugs for the switch and 2 for the lamp. Is there another configuration to attach the diode or should it just be left off in this case?

Thanks

Quoted from LTG:

Think in a straight line.
White wire ( and what ever colored stripe ) - Black end of diode - silver band end of diode - to switch lug.
LTG : )

Hmm. And there I was thinking that it could not possibly be that simple. Thanks Lloyd.
