Maverick, it ain't that simple. You really don't want to hack into your wiring without a understanding what is going on.
Here is a link that I just posted for running both HI and Lo’s at the same time. It might give you an idea of the complexity of the system.

Good luck

If you don't have a Manual, do a search for the links to download one. And you will have the diagrams which shows what you want.

Good luck.

Best to use with a Windows computer running internet explorer or firefox. It may or may not solve your problem but I'm sure there's some useful info in there for you.
