GEN 2 Wiring Upfitter switches

[Ironhorse07]

so I just checked the Blue/Green wire (aux 1) with voltmeter engine on/aux 1 on and I was getting voltage in the engine bay...so if this LED is a two wire this is going to be a simple installation...just T tap into the Blue/green and then the ground wire.

Yes, except for the t tap part, I hate those things.

Only reason I like is they are easy to remove...Im not wanting to solder connections, but I guess I could. What way do you like to connect?

The problem with t-taps is they eventually have moisture buildup and will inevitably rust which leads to an increase in resistance in the wire and could in extreme cases cause it to heat up.

I added single wire female Weatherpack terminals to the upfitter wires and that way I can connect and disconnect at will. The cables that go into the cabin have male connectors and all the equipment I added LEDs, etc same.

You can also use an insulated crimp connector that has both outer and inner adhesive that will flow and are very easy to use. If you need to remove it, just cut right below the crimp and you only loose 1/2 inch of cable.

^^^^ that

I used wire nuts and wrapped the living shit out of them with electrical tape.

I used weather pack single connectors on mine. I wired all six and used blank plugs on the ones that are not in use.

Second bundle?

Happy Memorial Day to all, and to those who served THANK YOU!

I was hoping someone can help me locate my hot bundle of uplifter switch wires. I've looked all around the battery try, found the firewall pass through, but can's seem to find the switched leads? Can some one post a pic where they found theirs? I know this is crazy, but I've been looking for 30 mins no luck. Thanks.

Battery side of the engine bay, trace the wiring bundle coming out of the firewall, root around and the bundle of hot wires is somewhere around that harness. You may have to fish them out. There are some rudimentary pictures in the Raptor supplement manual.
