if you go on the manufacturers website im sure they will have a section to download directions it cant be that hard. just wire it to a switch and supply the switch with power

you need a 6 pole toggle switch. You have to wire it to where it reverses the polarity to go from open to close on the cutout, i.e you want one wire to power it for opening cutout, and the other to ground. To close the cutout the wires need to be reversed.

heres a crappy drawing, but you get the idea

If your talking about the switch itself, you need a dual pole dual throw switch.



If your talking about the power and ground wires, the best spot for the switch is the ashtray. On the TA, I wired the 12v from the TCS wire, and the ground to a screw on the shifter. I dont have one on the camaro so I dont know where to find a switched 12v source, but a couple minutes of searching with a test light would find you a source. Dont forget to put a fuse on it.
