Light switch connection is usually straight forward. Find your incoming hot wires, black and white. With the switch in the off (down) position and the power disconnected , connect the black wire to the top screw of the switch. Find the load wires and connect the black to the bottom screw of the switch. Connect the two remaining white wires together with a wire nut and push them to the back of the switch box. Install the switch into the wall box, replace switch plate cover. Turn the breaker (power) back on. Flip the switch to the up position and the light should come on.
To wire a basic off switch to a light, you will need to connect the switch in line with the hot wire (typically black) leading to the light fixture. The wiring involves cutting the hot wire and connecting each end to the terminals on the switch. Make sure to turn off the power supply before working on the wiring for safety.
To wire a light and switch using 2-wire Romex, connect the black wire to the brass screw on the switch, the white wire to the light fixture, and the white wire to the silver screw on the switch. Make sure to cap the unused wire at both ends for safety. Be sure to turn off the power before starting and consult a professional if you are unsure.
To replace the dimmer switch with a regular switch, connect one black wire to the switch's black screw, the other black wire to the switch's red screw, the two white wires together with a wire nut, and two ground wires to the green screw on the switch. The red wire is likely a traveler wire for a three-way switch setup, so it can be capped off with a wire nut. Be sure to turn off the power before making any connections.
A switch leg is a wire that runs between a switch and the electrical load it controls, such as a light or a receptacle. It carries the electrical current from the switch to the load and is typically the hot wire in a switch loop configuration.
The black wire is typically the hot wire that carries the electrical current, while the red wire is often used as a traveler wire. Connect the black wire to one terminal of the light switch and the red wire to the other terminal. Make sure to turn off the power before wiring the switch to avoid electrical shock.
The switched live wire in a ceiling light typically connects to the live terminal of the light fixture. This wire carries the electrical current and is controlled by the light switch to turn the light on and off. Make sure to turn off the power before making any electrical connections.
To wire a light and switch using 2-wire Romex, connect the black wire to the brass screw on the switch, the white wire to the light fixture, and the white wire to the silver screw on the switch.

The switch probably turns the light out when the switch makes connection, then the light is on when there is no connection (like when the wire is not connected.) Reconnect the wire and push the switch to see if the light goes out. The switch is most likely out of adjustment or bad.
You will come off the battery + side with a wire to a fuse, from the fuse to a switch, switch to the light, the other wire from the light goes to ground. Protect the wire from the battery all the way to the light for wear. If you have trouble, or need more info let me know.

There should be only two wire connections on the stop light switch. You need to put a constant 12v supply to one side of the switch and the light wire itself to the other side. The switch then needs to be adjusted so that the brake pedal holds the switch in to keep the lights off. When the pedal is depressed the lights will go on. If they stay on all the time, re-adjust the brake switch.
The black wire is typically the hot wire that carries the electrical current, while the red wire is often used as a traveler wire. Connect the black wire to one terminal of the light switch and the red wire to the other terminal. Make sure to turn off the power before wiring the switch to avoid electrical shock.
Add a light to switch from a different circuitI think here your concern is that you don't want change the performance of the circuit to which you add the light.so you have to use a relay or a solid state relay to the circuit and a separate power supply to the light in compliance with all the safety rules.
The backup light switch is located on the side of the transmission. It has two wires coming off of it but they are probably covered in wire wrap.
Re open the switch junction box after turning the power back off. If you can locate the wire that bring the voltage to the box make sure that this wire goes to the top of the switch. If it is tied into more black wires this could be receptacle circuits that are on all of the time. If this is the case, from this group add a pigtail from this group to the top of the switch. from the bottom of the switch find the wire that is going to the light. It is probably in the group that is tied together. Once found terminate this wire to the bottom of the switch. Put the breaker back on and try the switch.
(this should be a grammar question) Switch off the light(s).
Check for loose wiring at the light itself and also at the light switch. There can also be a loose wire anywhere in the circuit supplying power to that light switch. Start at the light itself and work backwards in the circuit until you find the loose wire.
