I just built a rheostat baybus w/ 3 rheostats and installed an illuminated on/off switch.
The problem I have is that the switch looks like it's grounded. When I turn off the baybus, it shuts down the pc too. The rheostats work fine.
Sometimes when I shut down the pc using the shutdown screen,
it restarts by itself.
Without the ground connected to the switch there aren't any problems.
I would like to use the light on my switch, Any Suggestions?
 
Yeah, don't put ground on the switch :D You are breaking up the 12volt line, and if you put the ground to the switch it will probably not work. I split the 12volt coming from the molex with my spst.
