Anyone has an idea of how it works

I see a (+), (-) and 2 spades, one for each tank, im trying to figure out a way to bypass that switch caus mine broke, so i have some switches here and want to use them but have no idea how to hook up for example what would the ground cable be for??

It shouldn`t be too hard to make a new switch. I`m not familiar with how they work but my truck has one and all I do is just push the switch to whatever tank I want so I figure a 3 way switch could be made to work.

New GM switch about $13,use it! You will have to use a momentary switch to send power to shift motor in valve. then you need a switch to reverse polarity so it goes in the correct direction, then you need a switch to tell the fuel guage which sender to look at. Way to much trouble for $13 ya know? Jim

Little stuff left to do is mount winch, wet sand & buff out and build belly pan\running boards. Body work takes lots and LOTS of beer!!!! God, Guts and Guns made America and God, Guts and Guns will preserve it! The worst thing you could do is get into my sights, but that don't matter, you'll never know it, cause you'll never hear the shotJim or Paladin whichever you choose.
