Karl - How did you wire the SPST Toggle Switch with LED on the 767 throttle quadrant. From the switch schematic, it looks like the only way to turn the light on is to turn the switch on. In the aircraft that light goes on when there's an engine fire, and stays on until the fire detection system no longer detects fire - regardless of the fuel cutoff switch position. The third step in the Engine Fire checklist turns this switch off, but the light remains illuminated until the fire is out. How did you get the LED in the switch to work that way? Thanks! : )

Hi Karl,
I am yet to receive this switch from Banggood, but if the LED wiring is not completely separate from the Switch wiring, as the above post seems to indicate, then it would appear to me that this particular Toggle Switch will not be able to simulate the functionality of the real world equivalent.
Additionally this switch works on 12 V DC, which is non-ideal for interfacing with an Arduino, as it would require an external power supply.
This part may have to be redesigned or an alternative suitable switch found.
