Wire +12V to pin 1, pin 2 then goes to the pump but you also link it to the + LED connection and the - goes to the earth. This is assuming that the LED is designed to be used on 12V and it already has a resistor built into the LED part of the switch.
If you need a resistor, 860 ohms in series should be fine, you could put the resister between pin 2 and LED +.

Jerry, in this case Earth = -12V

Here is a diagram of how to wire it assuming the LED has a built in resistor and is designed to work on 12V

Your earth wire goes to the dull looking pin. Without earth the led will not work. Then the + wire and wire to the pump goes to the other 2 pins.
