A method and apparatus for jumping a pin connections in an electrical device are provided. The electrical device can be a vehicle having a data link connector that once mated with the apparatus, such a jumping connector that will jump at least two pin connections in the data link connector. The jumping connector can also have dip switches that be in the active or inactive state. In the active state, the dip switch will cause a connection to one of the pin connectors on the electrical device while the inactive state, the dip switch will not cause a connection to one of the pin connectors on the electrical device. 1. A jumper connector , comprising:a handle at a first end of the jumper connector;an interface at a second end of the jumper connector;a body positioned between the interface and the handle; anda plurality of dip switches located partially in the interface and the handle, the plurality of dip switches are configured to jump at least two pin connections in a vehicle data link connector.2. The jumper connector of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of switches have an active position and an inactive position.3. The jumper connector of claim 2 , wherein when the plurality of switches is in the active position claim 2 , then a pin associated with that switch will mate with one of the at least two pin connections.4. The jumper connector of claim 2 , wherein when the plurality of switches is in the inactive position claim 2 , then a pin associated with that switch will not mate with one of the at least two pin connections.5. The jumper connector of claim 1 , wherein the handle includes raised portions on a surface of the handle claim 1 , the raised portions are configured to interact with a user's fingers.6. The jumper connector of claim 1 , wherein the interface is constructed to mate with the vehicle data link connector.7. The jumper connector of claim 1 , wherein when the jumper connector is coupled with the vehicle data link connector claim 1 , it will activate a ...
