Only if you want to switch a short circuit.

You're hopefully switching a 12 volt source to go somewhere, so that's 2 terminals (1 in and 1 out). The ground is needed to light the LED. That"s the 3rd terminal.

As for which ones are for what, I have no clue. Did the package have a diagram on it? It's simple enough to figure out, but in your case, I would suggest you get someone to help you before you burn something up.

 

generally the middle prong or wire is the ground.
