Rule Bilge Pump Switch

[ibexx]

Does anyone have a wiring diagram for a Rule #43 3-Way Lighted Rocker Panel Bilge pump Switch, or a description of which colored wire goes where?
Thanks

Three Position Panel Switch

One Gray wire from the Float Switch connects to the solid Brown (Positive) wire from Bilge Pump.

The third wire should to be connected directly to Manual side of Panel Switch.

The other Gray wire from the Float Switch connects directly to the Automatic side of Panel Switch.

Connect the Black (Negative) wire to Negative battery terminal or buss bar.

Wire the Bilge pump directly to power supply, this will ensure that pump has power if the power system on boat has been disconnected.

Here’s a few diagrams:

➥ S.P.D.T. Switch Cct - Same switch for Bilge Pump Auto / Test On, as for Combination (Anchor / Tri-Colour) Lights. Note that the toggle 'Up' (A) position, closes between the middle common and... Cruisers & Sailing Photo Gallery

ibexx - Your switch has the one with a red light and a fuse holder built in. What GordMay posted is technically correct but you'll need to interpret what you have in hand. The lamp should end up being across the pump leads so it lights if the pump runs either Auto or Man. So I suspect the pump common lead is brought up to the panel...or something.
