It's worth noted that I am a complete novice, so please be patient with me.

I want to replace an existing pilot light switch with a single-way lighted switch. The existing setup has four terminals (red wire, black wire, white wire, and ground wire). The red wire goes to the left, the black wire goes to the top right, the ground wire goes to the middle right, and the white wire goes to the bottom right.
The single-way lighted switch only has three terminals including ground. Two terminals on the right and ground on the left.
NOTE: All directions are from the front view

Could anyone tell me how I should connect the new single-way lighted switch on the existing outlet?


Thanks a bunch in advance,
Adrian

Shut the breaker off that feeds this switch.

Connect the black and red to the brass screws on the new switch, connect the ground wire to the green ground screw. Cap the white with a wirenut or electrical tape.
