Gen 2 Upfitter Switch Tailgate Release Kit

Ruby · Sep 13, 2018

Unfortunately I’m right in the path of Hurricane Florence. All the post offices have battened down their hatches here for the storm.All kits ordered during the storm will ship as soon as the post offices open back up. I’m hoping for mid next week.

Anyone who has placed an order as of this post has had their kits shipped and they should be out of the state before the storm hits!

I refuse to buy one until you make it so I can use my low profile, bed mounted, rear firing, semi-fully automatic, 007 potato cannon in motion.

That and it won't fit my 2010.

Stay dry.

Post office is back up! All kits purchased during the hurricane have shipped!

Did you lose power? I hear I95 is out of action.

I lost power for about 4 days, but luckily I had a generator to run off of. But, the power is back on and the flooding is finally backing off! And yea, a decent stretch of I95 is/was closed for a decent bit!

I think I'm losing my mind. I thought I posted this question a couple of times but can't find it.

I have literally spent 2 hours digging around my fuse box trying to find those *@#$! upfitter wires. I've pulled up the carpet, removed factory plugs, stuck my hand into places I wasn't sure it'd ever come back out of and no-freaking-luck! It's taken a 30 minuted job and ground it to a dead stop. I'm so pissed.

Has anyone else experienced this? Is it possible the factory screwed up somehow? I'm usually a pretty competent mechanic so it's a bit embarrassing that I can't do this simple thing.

Are the wires taped to other wires (like under the hood)? Is the loop of the wires exposed? Most of the wiring under there has this cloth-like taping, do the upfitter wires have that as well?

BTW, it's a 2018.

Please help!

Here are two photos to help. Look and feel above the fuse box. You’ll feel the hard plastic nubs! They’re up there!

Some 2018s have wires that are tucked far up there. Shame on Ford for not making all Upfitter wires easily assessable.

Ok, I'll try again although I thought I felt around there all I could and had seen these pictures before.

Will they be wrapped in tape or will there be an exposed loop of wires or loose wire-ends with nubs.

Thanks for the encouragement.

They’ll be wrapped up separately from everything, but the hard plastic ends should be exposed and able to be felt with your fingers.
