Re: arb style switches
The information I gave last time still holds.
Contact layouts for all versions are spelled out towards the bottom of the link.
Maybe your issue is not with the switch itself but with what you are feeding it.
If you have the LED version be careful about which way you apply voltage to them as you can blow them by applying voltage the wrong way around. If you have had them in circuit already and been playing with 12v and earth to the terminals you may have already blown them.
Get an autoelectician to have a go for you. If you've got decent wires run already with enough "tail length" for the sparky to work with then it wouldn't take more than 15-30 min to terminate everything for you.

Watch out I've blown a lot of money on the custom rockers site.

In all seriousness, are you saying the light won't come on with the switch in the "on" position, or it won't light up when you turn your instrument illumination on? If it doesn't light up when you swich to the "on" position, then either you have a blown globe or wired backwards (as Damika suggestes). I've never had to pull a globe/LED out of one but you can see there is one top and bottom once you've removed the switch face. I'd hope it's just a matter of pulling it out! If that is the case, then I'd swap the globes out.

The best thing about having 2 cars, is when you stack one, the other breaks down in sympathy! Can I bum a lift?
