Default Help wiring this switch...

I'm trying to wire this two position switch. There are five contacts. The outer two are the power to the LED for the switch. I'm planning on grabbing the dimmer wire from the central stack to allow the switch to be dimmed.

I am having some difficulty with the central 3 pins.

Any help?

Central bottom pin is the power in for you accessory (12v). You can use the top or the middle one to go to your relay for your accessory. It all depends if you want the position of the switch to be in to activate your accessory.

That explains it. Didn't think a push button switch would.be active until "pushed"! Thanks
