Default Switch Wiring



I'm using the HD CVO bag lock momentary switch to run my air ride...how will I wire the 3 wires?
One content hot and one each to pump and dump valve?

If you have a meter you could ohm out the switch. Did your air ride come with a schematic?

assume the center lug is hot and the 2 outside lugs you assign the way you want...I'd guess top would be pump, and the bottom dump.

I'd check that the switch is rated for the power you are going to run through it, otherwise use relays

+1 on the relays. I'm sure you will need one to run the pump.

"Supposedly" the HD switches do not require a relay and are rated 20amps

I use one of these switches on my RGU to control a garage door opener. The center lug is hot, the other two are output based on which way the switch is pushed.

I know this is an old thread, but curious if you solved this? I am installing the same setup, but I can only get it to Either Pump when pushing it up or Dump when pushing it up. I cant get it to pump when pressing up and dump when pressing it down.
