Hey guys

I need some help here- I really dont know what to do, i dont want to blow up my ESC or Reciever..

Equipment-
1/10 summit lights, Front and Rear harnesses
******* reciever controlled "on/off" switch

What im getting confused with is the diagram that came with the on/off switch. What i want to accomplish is Flip the lights on and off from the Transmitter.

The ******* Switch has 2 "positive" outs and a "Reciever" out.. Obviously the reciever wire goes to the Reciever but where do the 2 positive's go? The diagram shows me one of the positives going to a circle with the word "load" inside it. The other goes to the Positive of the battery???? I want to run the lights through the Recieiver/ESC "bec" but i dont understand how that happens. Where do the lights getconnected to/how do they get power? Both the light sets have the "Male" end of an old style 4 AA battery box that used to be part of electronics before BEC..

Im really confused, can someone pleas PM me or can the community help out?

Heres what i have and hopefully someone can make sense of it..

The "load" would be the lights, the other needs to go on the batt output on the rec, then the wire that says reciever needs to go to one of the other ports on the rec. So what the directions are saying is you need a constant power the "batt" then "load" which is the lights and the last is a switch power which is the "rec" wire that is the one that turns the lights on and off. That's what I got out of what you wrote I could be wrong
