Tryd the high idle switch mod
Ok so i took the purple/green and the blue/white put them together, turned switch, it worked. I mounted the switch tryd it, heard a couple zaps then the switch light went out.
Did I fry something or should i try and rewire it again. I pulled it all out after it did that.
Its an 06 quad cab

The power wire in that combination has a fuse. I don't know what number it is and I'm not sure it's in the manual, so you might have to look for a blown fuse in a slot that is marked as not used. You probably blew the fuse. You probably also need to look at how you wired the switch. If it is a lighted switch and you wired in a ground, you probably got the wrong wires on the wrong terminals.

I think dchamberlain is correct, exactly what sort of switch are you using? Have you read this?

You're looking for a blown fuse. And you're looking at how the switch was wired. I would suspect that you wired the switch incorrectly and switched the power directly to the ground, causing a short.

No. The purple/green is the BCP circuit to the PCM. You are trying to put 12V on this wire to cause elevated idle to occur.
The white/blue is the fused power wire. Your switch should have a blade for the power wire, a blade for the ground, and a blade for the load. The load might be labelled ACC for accessory, or something else, it depends on the switch.
