I think I answered my own question, because I had the hot coming into the rely where the neutral should have been this caused the light to glow? Soon I will see. I now understand the neutral and HOT position in the wall socket and the case socket for encloser, seems the right side is HOT all...

OK, here is a proper diagram. Now, I totally understand your argument for a non-LED but my application needs this form factor. http://www.digikey.com/product-detail/en/Q8P3BXXHR110E/679-2965-ND/3153116 lop is only 6ma, on my circuit this seems reasonable and its only on for a minute at...

I am ordering it as we speak from digikey, I feel silly, I was going to omit the fuse. I can't thank you enough.

Its an aluminum enclosure. The ground goes to the motor ground and the case but that is not shown in the diagram.

Thanks again. I understand your concerns and thanks for your advise. My diagram matches the circuit you provided. I had just colored wrong the diagram. Take care

OK, I believe I corrected what you may be concerned about. Also let me say that the circuit works with the exception of the LED issue I spoke of.

Its just a simple circuit that turns on a pump. ( .4 amp load )

This is the timer circuit, this may help. http://new.grainger.com/product/DAYTON-Time-Delay-Relay-6A859 Its designed to do what I'm doing.

Thank you for your reply, well to answer your question because I have to, no one will do it for me and I have learned by doing all my life. Can you help me fix the circuit?

I really don't know much about circuit design, but I have built a device and it requires a LED indicator when power is applied to the load. I also need a very low parts count. The Problem. As I have designed it the LED glows ever so dimly when ac voltage is removed and when power is...
