Didn't work.

The ground wire is good & so is the + wire; I tested them with an LED strip & it lit them up just fine. So the problem is either:

A) There is some caulking on the switch & a tiny bit on the base of some prongs (needed to hold switch to ashtray, caulk was the only thing at my disposal at the time). It's only a tiny bit on the outside base of the prongs, but maybe that is not stopping the electricity from flowing?
B) The switch I bought from RadioShack could is bad?
C) There were 6 or so threads on each wire coming off the cutout. Two of them on one wire twisted off--since they're so delicate--while I was twisting them onto the holes in the switch. So, only 2 threads went to each prong for the Green wire. Could there have not been sufficient threads on those two prongs that caused it to not work?
D) None of the above. Just wired incorrectly?
