Hey would you plz post a step by step on how/what wires you tapped into?
I have an 05 century and no one I've spoken to knows how to wire the switch. I can't seem to find the wire that goes hot n cold.

I have it wired in to the clutch pedal
Switch.
Your 05 century clutch switch should be exactly like the Columbia I believe.
I am not near the truck now but in the morning when I’m at the truck I will take a picture of where and how it is wired and post it up so you can have a visual of how I did it and then we will go from there if you have more questions. -
Lol I've had this switch for around 6 months and NO ONE seems to know how it gets hooked up. And the installation instructions are not worth the paper it's printed on. Thank you.Hulld Thanks this. -
Pretty easy install and your going to love it when it’s done.Marcus t Thanks this. -
You can also check the jakes parameters with cruise control because it might be disabled. Don't hard wire anything the Cascadia has too many multiplex wires tapped into each other you might cause a bunch of headaches.

Here is a picture of the switch wiring.
I jut got home now.Marcus t Thanks this. -
What I did is take the truck stock wire with ring terminal off from the clutch switch.
I then cut ring terminal off from truck stock wire and then connected one easy jake wire to it.
Then I installed a ring terminal on the remaining easy jake wire and screwed it back to the clutch switch.
Very easy job.
Questions?Marcus t Thanks this. -
Hulld Thanks this.

You DO NOT mess with any of the wiring for the jakes at all.
It’s all done at the clutch switch.
Think about how it works stock.
When you are coming down a hill with the Jake on and you rest your foot on the clutch slightly the clutch switch opens and the Jake turns off.
When you remove your foot from the clutch the Jake comes back on.
When wiring the easy Jake to the clutch switch your just adding an on off switch to the clutch switch.
Is that understandable to you?Marcus t Thanks this.
