Hi all. I bought an Indian Head fender tip light (12V) and a single, bobber style tail light for my cruiser. I have a large 12V battery and a small doo-dad 3 way switch. When I wire up the connections, the Indian head lamp will light, but the tail light will not (even without the switch installed). The only way to get both lamps working is to connect leads from fender lamp and leads from the tail lamp directly to the battery. Any ideas why wire in sequence won't work?

Negative wire from both lights should go to the negative post on the battery.
Positive post from battery should go to the input side of the switch.
Output side of the switch should go to the positive wires of each lamp. Connect both positive wires from each lamp to the same terminal on the switch.
