    Just try to think of the LED on the switch as not part of the switch. Wire it up just like you would an accent LED. The LED + and - are not tied into the other contact on the switch. So, just wire the switch LED the same way you wire your blade LED.

    Ok well I just finished scaning this image as I read you're last response Rhyen. After reading it, I'm 99% sure that this isn't right. If I messed up, which i most likely did, please tell me how to modify it.

    Ok, the + and - on the switch would go to the same + and - of the LED. It also looks like you have the + and - on the left side of the buck puck swapped. Assuming you are using red for the + and black for the -, you would put the black wire from the recharge port on C1 and the black wire going from the switch to the buck puck would go on NO1.

    It is hard to tell how you have the recharge port wired, but other than that it looks good. Here is the thread for you to double check the recharge port.

    Yup. That's the form that I used to set up the recharge port in my schematic. I did not use the quick conector though.
    In the image of that form, the + wire of my battery pack is connected to the area that says "To saber +" and the - wire of my battery pack connects to the area that says "To saber -"
