    I’m installing an aftermarket Air Onboard switch in the factory location for traction control.

    I must be missing something on the wiring. The factory green/white stripe must be ground, solid green is power from cabin lights. These other two appear to both be the same damn pattern but the arm next to blue factory wire appears to be 12v so I assume the other controls the traction control.

    however....under no circumstance does depressing the switch light the switch function so I must have something backwards. The switch “function” does illuminate if I connect to the 12v or solid green.

    after farting with it for an hour+ the thought entered my mind...”maybe it’s the switch”. I tried another 2 switches and it works of course....how F’n aggravating!

    It will have to say “rock lights” until a replacement gets here.
