I wired an MR FX MHS and a driver all together and they work separately. Then I went to test the switch and if I get the MR to work then hook the driver to it, the MR shuts off, if I unhook the driver then the MR turns back on. I don't have a clue what's happening I need help! :? :? :? :?

Hmm... maybe they're opposites. One likes normally open and the other normally closed. :?:

Not many have used the "joe jedi" saber.

It may be the way you have the switch itself wired, I believe we discussed this over at FX-Sabers.

You need a DPDT six pole switch. Negative leads should go on the center pins of the switch opposing each other.

Positive should go on one of the outside sets of pins opposing each other as well.

Two pins on the switch on either end (depending on how you wired it) should be empty... When youre slider is in THAT position it should be the Off position.

Below is how you would wire the circuit... P=positive N=Negative X=Open
(one board top, one board bottom.

If you have the issue of one being normally closed, and one being normally open then just move the leads around, and wire accordingly...
