Just thought I would throw this out there for the heck of it... Anybody have problems with any of there upfitter switches not working? I have checked and double checked everything. Fuses, relays, everything. 1 & 2 work fine. Now Im looking to add more lights I need to get this fixed. What would cause the wires behind the glove box to not be hot when the switch it flipped? Im not getting any power to the wires behind the glove box.

Its been like this since the day I originally made the connections behind the glove box. I went ahead and made all the connections at once. I didn't really follow up with it because I only needed 2 switches at the time.

Not to insult your intelligence but are you metering the right wires? Try metering some of the other wires with them on. I have heard of one person having an issue with the color of the wire not being what it was supposed to be. It was a pass thru wire I believe but it's worth double checking.

MB - I wouldn't put it past myself. I mean I get going so fast that I probably do have the wrong wires. But I specifically remember trying not to screw that part up.. Oh well Im gonna tear my dash apart so I can get those wires out CLEARLY so I can see WTF im doing and then solder everything real nice.

It happens. I accidentally reversed my positive and negative on an amp once. Expensive mistake and not something people would expect me to do. Lol. It's worth double checking.

What MB said, I hooked all of mine up at the same time, then checked them one by one as they were soldered together.
