if u just want front and bak you still have to wire each indivual switch...you have a front and back switch that is build to open the 2 individual valves you want at the same time

i just need to know how to wire one switch do i have a 12v to the off position and one wire to the fill and one to the dump

the switch has 3 prongs you take 12 v to the center prong, the other two prongs are for your vlves, one for the fill one or the dump. and one of the leads on your valves gets grounded to the frame.one switch for front one switch for back!

If you want to do front and back you only need two 6 prong switches. The center prongs are the power and the top and bottom would run to each individual valve you want to control. Fact of the day is that when you hit a switch up it's connecting to the bottom prong and when you hit down it connects to the top prong so make sure you know which way you swich is going to be facing then you can wire it accordingly. I know that sounds confusing but i hope it helped.
