I have a power cord that I have hard-wired into the fuse box in my A4. The power cord is used to charge my dash-mounted MP3 Player:

The thing is that I don't want to have juice running to this power cord at all times. I want to be able to control when it's on and when it's off.

I bought an "Illuminated Rocker Switch" at Radio Shack for $3.69. I would like to install this on the power cord, so that I can turn it off/on at will.

The diagram for the switch looks like so:

So I know I connect the ground tab to a grounding point on the chasis. Does "Load" go to the MP3 Player and does Power go to the Fuse Box? Or do I have it backwards?

TIA!

sounds right.

the MP3 player ground needs to be tied to the switch ground (which you're grounding to chassis) or to chassis ground as well.
