you can have the switch in the earth side or the live side, it makes no difference! Petes diagram is excellent, and it is indeed showing earth
switching.

Just wanna clear something up. The digidash has it's own earth supply. If the live wire is taken straight to the bulb it will always light up
regardless of anything else. If I were able to switch the live wire then I could get it all working. I can't use the handbrake to control the
live wire as it's earthed and just causes sparks. Can I use a small switch in someway to test the M/C from the drivers seat? As that
wouldn't be earthed, I can run a live to it.
I don't know what I'm doing wrong. Surely someone must have used a digidash before, I'd just like to know how they've wired up
the handbrake.
R.I.P another fuse (I now have a pile of about 20 dead ones  )

Sorry, i didnt know the digidash had its own earth  that sort of stuffs up the switched earth plan!
So you need switches in the live side of it all. Assuming its not LED lights, you could probably just reverse everything in petes diagram.

They're LEDs
Is the test switch used purely to test the bulb in the dash? If so I can wire a switch in which would be simple. Thus:
The switch would work in the same way as the switch at the M/C and the blub would light. It could be dash mounted and used to test the bulb. Is that
okay?

Thanks for the diagrams...blew another fuse though 
My button switch is wired up and when pressed, the dash light comes on. Is this okay or is it the actual M/C plug circuit that needs to be tested? If
it's just the bulb in the dash then I can put this to rest

i think its just the bulb you need to test, but after my previous wrong advice it might be best to wait for confirmation!
