purge switch wiring question I am wiring up my purge to the NOS push purge switch. on the solenoid i got 2 wires one says to power one to ground on the switch i only have two connections, could someone shead some light on how exaclty to wire it together..... thankx guys
Is the cigarette lighter a good place to wire the purge, and the arming switch? Or would I end up blowing a 5 amp fuse everytime I armed the purge?
I'm either going to wire the purge to the arming switch, or to another 12v source. What do you guys think?

If you have an NX purge they recomend having it on a 10 amp fuse. The arm switch draws very low amperage. Less than 1 amp. 
Check your owner's manual but I think the cigarette lighter circuit is on a 20 amp fuse.

They can both be fed from the same 12v circuitif you want.
