If you are touching the metal parts of the leads together, this doesn't make sense unless the "1 ." (indicating an "open" on your meter) is changing to a " 1.0" (indicating a short) or your leads are intermittent. (broken/frayed wires, bad connection, etc.) :dizzy:

therefore I assume it is correct, no worries to have, this was just a quick and bad mesure I did in the video. right ?

Correct. That reading indicates that the switch is good.

hycday:
ok, I wired everything, it looks like this (note that I have a double terminal on the 6, picture of them in my first post)
I crossed my fingers, pluged a lamp, and switched to ON
the led switch turned on and the lamp too ! :D
\o/ it works !!
gotta say that I was a bit scared of burning everything or getting electrified haha !
I know hope that it wont later, but I guess that if it works now, it should stay like that (talking about the wiring, not external parameters like the cables used etc)
Thanks a lot again !
