Need help....I'm trying to wire my NAV lights to a 3 position toggle switch. There's 3 wires; a red wire which is hot, a grey wire and another grey wire. If I connect one grey wire to the red wire the stern light comes on. If I connect the other grey wire to the red wire i get nothing. If I connect both grey wires to the red wire I get bow and stern lights on. I'm trying to get the 3 position toggle switch to work but no luck and I've tried 4 or 5 different ways. Can't get the stern light to come and the bow light to not come on with the switch. :confused:

Re: navigation lights

Does the switch you are using have three terminals or six?

Re: navigation lights

The switch I was trying to use had 3 terminals. Got another switch with 6 terminals. Finally got every thing working right.
