stupid wiring question....problem with switch

ok so i think i am going crazy...
my illuminated switch that arms my nitrous kit....stopped lighting up....still arms system ...technically works great...just wont light up....so i went to autozone bought another ...hooked it up....still functions...but no light....so i figure maybe i got a bad switch....

so i go buy another switch still no light....so i re check all wiring.....fine...like i said the switch works....i flip it it gives juice to the nitrous kit....but no light...i know it seems like a lame thing...but at night it is a pain in the a$$......

anythoughts?..... is it possible that i got 3 bad switches? if electricity is flowing throught the switch shouldnt the light come on?

honestly its possible you got 3 bad switches, but its not proable. If voltage is flowing though the switch when it is on the switch is good... Maybe the LED's or the bulbs went bad....

Sounds like the ground came loose. The switch should have three wires, power, ground and output. Power comes in and goes out and turns light on, but ground is also needed to turn the light on but th ground does not effect the power flowing through the switch. Check the ground really well, even if its a little loose where it is grounded it may not work. I am 98% sure thats your problem.
