120 ac circuit help

[Waynelytle]

The circuit I need help with has a terminal strip with four connections. [120] [ N ] [ 3 ] [ 4]
3 and 4 represent a normally open contact. I need a way to have red light come on when that contact is open and a green light when it is closed. It's not a hard issue but for me it gets complicated when I cannot have more than 16-24volts ac on that contact. It can have 120 on ot but just long enough to power the lights. I have 2 120v ac LEDs.

Thank you Wayne !!

This doesn't make sense. You can't 'have' and 'not have' 120VAC on the contact.

Thanks for the response ken. Please be patient with me I am new to this. Let me try to better explain it. I am building a tester for a system. I will try to lay it out without a diagram if you need one I can upload one tomorrow.

The full terminal terminal strip is laid out like this.

120 N -| |- pilot C T Ground
[ 1 ][2][3] [4][ 5 ] [6][7][ 8 ]

16volts goes down the pilot wire of a cable thru a C T then to a diode that's hooked to a motor frame tied into the ground wire. That 16 volts after coming out of the diode is rectified to a small amount of dc which is sent down the ground. Once 5 and 8 make connection the N/O contact closes. I need a light wired into this circuit that when 3 & 4 are open I get a red light and when 3&4 are closed you get a green light. The issue I have is when I power my lights i end up with 120 volts on 3 & 4. I have put a jumper between 2 & 3 for a neutral and a coil hooked to 1 and 4 which bring in a relay to turn the light from red to green. Problem is I always end up with 120 on 3 & 4 expect when the light is green. I am confused as to why I have 120 when its red but not when its green on how I have it wired. Thank you for any advice!!

Nope, can't visualize it. What is a C T?
