[QUOTE="AngryBird, post: 646129, member: 5270"] Upfitter 1 and 2 are 30amps. 3amps x 4 lights is 12 amps so upfitter 1 and 2 have enough capacity. Upfitter 3 has a 15 amp capacity so it would be fine too. I'd use their harness but cut the relay off. Its not necessary. Then just wire the Positive to the Red pass-thru wire under the hood (assuming that you have connected the pass-thru wires under the passenger side dash). Ground the negative wire wherever is convenient. I like to run them up to one of the two grounding lugs to the rear of the battery on the inside of the fender. Birdmans thread: [URL="http://www.fordraptorforum.com/f170/wire-raptor-aux-upfitter-switches-20335/index3.html#post345541"]http://www.fordraptorforum.com/f170/wire-raptor-aux-upfitter-switches-20335/index3.html#post345541[/URL] Edit----------- I'd make sure to wire the fuse in to protect KC's (probably smaller gauge) wiring. i.e. if the Ford fuse trips at 30 amps but it only takes 20 to burn up KC's smaller wiring then you have a problem.
