Water pump switch wiring - not shutting off

[DoctahDeane]

Hi folks - I apologize in advance, I'm afraid this is a pretty basic question. I have a small water pump - two wires and a separate switch - very similar to what others have used here - with three leads off the back: two silver, one brass. I assumed that brass was ground. Wired both grounds up to fuse box fine. My mistake might be that I wired the power cable from the pump plus BOTH silver switch leads to the same post in the fuse box. Pump works fine but switch will not shut it off. I know this is basic electricity stuff. Now I'm thinking that perhaps each silver lead ought to have it's own fused post in the fuse box?

One of the connections on the switch may be for an indicator led in the switch.
Does the pump just have two wires?

Yes the pump just has two wires and yes, that was my initial thought - that one of the "power" leads on the switch is for the little blue LED. Assuming that is so, would the power lead from the pump and these two from the switch all go to the same fusebox screw/post?

This guy figured it out - yay!
