In reality this is the wrong hookup to get this job done.  To make it work
you must jumper from the switched side of one coil to one of the AC
terminals on the bridge, jumper the other coil switched side to the other
AC terminal on the bridge.  One side of the transit light goes to ground,
the other side of the transit light goes to the + terminal on the bridge.
The - terminal on the bridge also goes to ground.  Now it'll work.
