Pretty much, it needs to be beefy enough to handle the current. Not sure how much is going through it

Well i had found a 20amp switch and a 50amp toggle switch on 4statestruck.

I figure 1 of those should be enough i would think

The 20A switch should be plenty

The system is usually on a 10A circuit breaker or fuse

Surprisingly I actually found an actual peterbilt jake brake switch off ebay for $20 new. Just waiting for it to come in and to install now.
