Toggle switch for jake brake

Might get them even cheaper at Dealer

 

Not for things like this. That switch I posted a pic of is $50 from peterbilt, danshop it’s $20.

 

Freightliner’s plastic ones are under $10, but they always break, been wanting to swap them out like a friend of mine did. He ground each prong down to fit,

 

That switch I posted a pic of most likely will work, but you’ll have to check continuity and cut off or tape the two unused legs.

 

It chopped the bottom off the switch, but it shows to be two legged.

 

I had the same problem on my W900. There were a couple unused switches in my dash, so I moved it. Dealership wants $65.00 for an on/off, single pole switch. KWs are ground switched. The dash is grounded, the switch completes the ground. Single pole.

 

I believe Cole Hersee made the original switches. Some of them were special, like for the jake hi/medium/low switch. Here's the catalog section for the generic switches:

The on/off can be replaced with a standard switch but you might need to move the wires in the connector to get them on the right switch terminal

The connector is a Delphi 56 series (formerly Packard). Some of those connectors are molded with blank spots so they can't be plugged into the wrong switch. If need be the body can be replaced with a 6F

ETA- I went back and looked at the picture closer. Looks like there are no blank spots on the connector and the switch is a standard configuration. If you get a DPST switch the unused terminals will just sit in the connector, no need to cut them off

 

Here's one that will work

You'll have to move the terminal in the connector from the middle slot to the top

There's a special tool to do that but a paperclip will work
