Well its pretty simple really, It had two leads black and red and two mounting holes. using the switch as a template I drilled the holes and used 5/16 bolts to secure it. I then spliced the wires into the wiring harness that I got from Corvette Central for the fan bypass. I figure you could use it for lots of things like nitrous arming, fans,an altnator cutout .....ect. Hell I may just install 35 or 40 of them and then I could hook the laptop up and type on the forum while I drive
