I'm not using a molex connector. I have cut the 12v and ground from one of my 12v power molex connectors to power the three switch's.

The switches are 12v lighted rockers w/ 3 leads: Ground, Load, & Power.

Ground Has both the 12v power ground and the Lights ground wire hooked up to this lead.

Load is the plug where the power from the light gets hooked up to.

Power is the 12v wire from a ps.

The switches would not turn eachother off. I'm talking about the power for all three switches coming from one source. Whether or not to wire the power and ground leads as a triple split(parellel), or from one to the next(serial). The output of the switch is the center plug which will power whatever is hooked up to it. Whether or not the switch is shorted makes no difference as far as power availibility to the other switch's.
