thanks Derek.
That looks like the controller I have for my Meyers. Mine has a small harness on the back of the switch panel and a sheathed group of wires that go through to the plow. After connecting a one hot wire supply to the switchs, the rest was child's play. At half distance, there is a connection sprouting through the sheath for a solenoid and then it terminates with three control connections.

My switches are mounted in the dash, I made a small flat panel from aluminum and just screwed it in place. When you shift into drive, the switches are at your fingertips! One hand steers, the other flicks the plow into action!

What wiring do you have with the switches?

The original wiring harness makes installation child's play.
I will pull my panel out and snap a pic. With that, you should be able to duplicate the set-up.

I have had this set-up installed on 2 trucks, the first being a '89 Chev half ton. The Chev has indivual lamps for high and low, not easily converted to a 3 prong harness, so I never bothered with the aux. lights. My Ram is tall enough that again, I have decided to forgo the aux. lights.
