The voltmeter and phone plug-in  have spade connectors labeled plus and minus.  The switch has 3 connectors, and it looks like I can see a minus sign between the two silver ones.   Can those be combined into one lead?  My continuity meter won't help me - I guess the switch needs current to work.

A bit hard to tell without having the switch in hand, but I'll give it a shot until McCall comes in. The switch has 3 terminals because the LED indicator needs a ground. If you don't need or want the indicator you only need 2 terminals. Using your meter find 2 terminals that show continuity when "on" and no continuity when "off". Connect those 2 terminals, either way, in series with the positive terminal of the voltmeter. The third terminal on the switch is unused. The pictures on Amazon are a bit confusing because the automotive, boating and house wiring color coding conventions are different.
