Default K-plane Rocker switch wiring

I have to completely rewire my dash and cannot find a wiring diagram for my K plane rocker dash switches. I searched many sites but can’t seem to find. I am tying into a pair of 280s.

thank you!

its a very simple system.....if you have the original harness going back to the pump, there should be 3 wires:
blue/wht (up)
Green/wht (down)
Red/purple (12v)


at the dash you would need a single pole double throw switch. the red/pur goes to the middle tab and the blu/wht and grn/wht go to the top/bottom tabs
(depending on how the switch is made you may have to swap the leads around to get the tabs to go in the proper direction...just trial and error at this point)
The switches get power from the trim pumps....theres a fuse at the pump near the solenoids thats for the switch harness. The pumps them selves need a power and ground source to work as well....
