I have a 47 Windsor that's 6 volt positive ground. I bought a universal door jamb switch for the front pass. door. There are two wires behind the kick panel that weren't hooked up to anything. After touching one wire to the only connection on the switch, the other to the body of the switch, it worked. Pushed the button, light goes on and off.....great.
Now I install the switch (one wire to the connection, the other to the body of the switch) by screwing it in the little hole provided in the body and the wires heat up, light doesn't work, there's a ticking sound from somewhere. I jump out and disconnect the battery.
Now what? What am I doing wrong?
Thanks
