    Previous owner installed a behind the grill light bar. I went to turn it on recently and the toggle switch literally fell apart in my hand.

    I have looked online and I haven’t been able to find a direct replacement without having to do some additional wiring. Anyone know where I can find this same switch that will accept just these 3 wires?

    Otrattw.net will have that switch. Give them a call and they’ll help you out.

    Thanks! This one looks like I will have to do some splicing into the existing wiring correct? I was looking for something I could just plug into existing wiring...seems there may not be anything out there. Not sure where the previous owner got the switch that broke.
    I will give them a call. thanks!

    The two red wires go together. All the one is to power the light on the switch. Two reds to the red, black to black, green stripe to white.

    Any 3 or 5 prong switch will work.
    The top 2 are ground.
    Middle should be power in.
    Bottom power out.
    Or vice vs. Just have to figure it out.
    The connectors on the harness will work. Just pinch them a little with pliers if they want to slide off.
    Dont worry about the side that only has 2,
    That just ground and power for the back light of the switch.
