Mav, I went to Radio Shaq and bought the same rocker switch you have for your high idle except mine has the light in it. How do I make it work when the high idle is turned on. This switch has three posts instead of two.http://dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Confused.gif

You will have to ground the switch with the third pin. You will have power in, power out , and a ground. Let me know how it works.http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Approve.gif

Jerry, not to interupt, but you dont need a seperate switch for your high idle, just tie it to the brake pedal and its fool proof, you wont have to worry about leaving the switch on and causing driveability problems either

Thanks for the info guys. Do I just tie in to the hot side of the brake light switch or what?

Jerry, I tied into the brake switch. IIRC its the green/white wire, its only hot in P or N and not with brake pedal depressed. it works perfect. Switch will only be activated when you need it.
