Sometime over the years the wire from the light to the pressure switch did not get reconnected to the the pressure switch when the pressure switch was replaced. There are two wires from the light, but there are 4 connections on the pressure switch that could I can connect to. Does anyone know how to connect the wires from the light to the pressure switch?

You will also have a neutral on there to hook the other wire from your light to.

If you hook up both your hot and neutral of your light to both hots on a 240v your bulb will burn very bright and would probably not last full life.
