In regards to the Hopkins LED Breakaway Switch part # HM20059; the white wire is ground, the black wire is for 12 volt power, and the blue wire is for electric brake output. If you have a two wire switch, the above will work but the Hopkins Replacement Break-Away Switch part # HM20010 would be better since there are less connections but you can use either. The Replacement Break-Away Switch grounds though the mounting hardware which is why an additional ground is not needed.
