My 15 minute weekend project is rapidly turning into a disaster. I am trying to wire the attached photos of a switch I have as a simple on/off with illumination for some offload lites. I have done the YouTube research and see none like this one. Any help solving this would be unimaginally appreciated.

If you don't have a volt-ohm-milliameter, then take a small battery and a couple pieces of wire and a flashlight light bulb of the correct voltage for your battery and use that to test the switch until you find the make/break circuit that you can use. Ensure that the battery lights the bulb first by wiring it directly without the switch. Then insert the switch, checking various terminals until you find what you want. DO NOT use your car battery or a large battery for this. Use a AA, AAA, D, 6V cell or similar. You don't want to start a fire. :-)

Just as Mark says, a volt meter would be best or some means to test which connection does what when the switch is thrown.

That being said, from your photos it looks like a "Seachoice 11001 Illuminated Rocker Switch " .

Here is a connection diagram for it.
