run off your other switches and hook all 4 fills together and all 4 dumps together...its better to just hit both switches at the same time though because pancake usually doesn't come up perfectly even.

Who needs more than just front and back?Just my opinion...I don't like all these switches...I like just two...

I tried the above, and when I tried to go front dump by itself, it dumped the whole truck... its because the wires need some kind of diode, as to not pass the current when your NOT pushing the pancake switch.

Your going to need some diode's. You can get them at radio shack.

If you have 6 prong switches. that is exactly how you do it. Hot wire to the to center prongs, both up valves to the 2 lower prongs (seperately), both down vavles to the 2 top prongs (seperately) for pancake.
