    Ok so this is my first posting here but hopefully someone out there can lead me in the right direction. Recently I purchased a couple OTRATTW LED Rocker Switches. One for my RIGID Fog Lights and one for my RR DIFF LOCK. The Fog Switch light was able to successfully match and land the circuits thanks to the help of this forum.

    But for rear differential lock switch its different story. I cannot find any posts out there on this site or others that provides the guidance that was available for my fog light swith replacement.

    I guess ultimately I have two problems that I am hoping to get someone to give me guidance on on:
    1) Do I need to buy a different type of OTRATTW switch to replace my OEM RR DIFF LOCK switch? I bought a SPST, dual LED. Is this even the right type?
    2) Where do I need to land the four wires (G/W, Light Greew, Pink, Green) from the old switch onto the new OTRATTW switch. I have have attached some pics which might help.

    PLEASE any assistance would be helpful.

    why would you want to replace the factory switch with a different one that preforms the same function?

    Thank you for the wiring diagram caribe makaira and photo. Much appreciated.

    I do have one more question where should I take the B/W chassis ground wire from that you show on pin #6?

    Bump! The wiring diagram got deleted.
    @caribe makaira

    I need the pinout from the factory switch so I can use it for my new Eaton Elocker

    My colors don't quite match and I noticed the picture above shows two blank holes without a wire, where mine only has 1. Does anyone know if it is the same?

    It is not, it's the Traction Control switch connector.
