Ok, my fan controller has a terminal that you ground, which will shut the fan off (water crossings, etc).

My question....

I have single pole, single throw switches. 12v, ground and accesorry is what the terminals on the switches are. Now know I can run it so it will just ground or not ground that wire, but would there be a way to get the light in the toggle to come on when the switch is grounded? A little "Warning" for me that the fan is off.

It's not the end of the world if it can't be done, but it seems to me that there would be a way?

If you really want the lighted switch on when the accessory is off, run the accessory on a double-throw relay on the contacts that are open when the power is applied to the relay.
