[QUOTE="wfooshee, post: 716079, member: 6354"] Not trying to get into a pissing contest, but Alan's reaction to the subsequent post got me curious, and it was simple enough to check. If the issue is "Where is the latching circuit?" then it's in the control pad. I didn't think so, but I just went out and checked it. Unplugged the control pad connector, used a jumper to apply 12 volts to the red wire, had no volts on the brown wire, but got 12 volts on the brown wire (and a lit LED) when I pressed the On button, and it stayed there until I pressed the Off button. Main CC brain was not involved, that connector was hanging loose. I really thought the control pad was nothing but buttons and LEDs. So basically the latching circuit just mimics a hard switch, connecting the 12 volt source to the brown wire. For those considering other switchgear, you can simply jumper the red and brown wires together, there is no harm in that whatsoever, or if you [I]insist[/I] on a power switch for the cruise, a simple SPST switch to connect the red to the brown is all you need.
