    Lighted Switch & Open Neutral
    I am currently attempting to use a lighted rocker switch to control a split receptacle.

    The wiring looks right but when I power up and test the outlet, it shows an open neutral (light on tester is just barely on) when the switch is turned off. In the on position everything test out correct.

    Can the power draw for the light in the switch cause this problem or should I look elsewhere

    Have completely rewired this setup and now have the problem titled "Bleed Through" in another thread. (Actually it is the same result just stated differently)

    OK I need the part number of the switch/pilot light you have. Like I guessed, seems something is in series. Did you split anything on this switch?
