How to wire a sprayer controller to an accessory plug?

[davemc]

I am setting up a sprayer on the back of my Kubota. It has a Tee Jet sprayer controller to electronically open and close valves from the cab. The power source wire of the controller consists of 3 wires: red, blue, and black. It is 12 Volt. I have been told I can hook it to an accessory plug, and then use the cigarette lighter socket for power. The accessory plug only has 2 wires though.

How do I hook the three wires of the controller to the two wires of the accessory plug? I assume one of the 3 controller wires is a ground?

You are much more likely to get a useful answer if you tell us the model number of the controller.

Are there no instructions included with the controller?

red to power, blk to gnd, blue to control solenoid?

red for one valve
blue for the 2nd
black for ground
???

Agree the model number of the valve is kinda 'mission critical'

There are dozens of ways to connect 3 wire to 2...and all are correct and wrong depending on who designed the 'black box'.

Googling 'tee-jet' came back with 1/4 million hits......

Without knowing what functions (e.g. model) the "controller" implements this is an utter waste of time. Maybe it controls a pressure regulator and a spray valve. Or maybe it controls two valves. WTFK.
