Wrong connection at bulb light?

Hellothere,

I have aquestion about light layout on my 240 Sundancer.

I have aplan to change the standard bulb light (BA15S) into LED.
So I putone in but no light. After measuring the voltage I see that the positive (+)current was connected to the shield and the negative (-) to the center contact.

That’s thereason my LED will not light J

Is that amistake or is that normal??

Because Iwant the change all the bulb light in-side into LED I was thinking aboutchanging
thepositive/negative current by the source at the switch panel. I that a good ideaor do you guys have a better plan?

Greetings,Marco

If I were going to swap the polarity, I would do it at the fixture, not the switch panel. You could also get an LED that is not sensitive to polarity (contains onboard electronics).

LED's are polarity sensitive. They make some that "could care less" about polarity! They cost more though.
