Would you mind providing the last 6 of your VIN? That way I can look up schematics specific to your unit. I don't like giving advice until I have all the facts.

How they usually work these days with everything being electronic, instead of electrical, is the ecm that the switch is connected to is looking for ground. It's providing the voltage, which may be very little, but when it see's ground it says "ok this has been requested so lets activate the jakes". So the switch is just giving a path to ground. This may not be how yours is setup, but I think it is. Depends on engine, specs.. etc etc. That's why I'd like the vin.

I just read the install instructions on easy jake's web site and those are the worst wiring instructions I've ever read. It's going to be easier than they make it sound.
