Accidentally posted this in the Gen one forums earlier. Does anyone know of one relay that powers all of the aux switches? Mine don't light up at all when the car is on and they don't have any power at the wires.

I have 2 rigid 360s installed on my apillars ready to roll just need the switches to work lol.

There are two sets of wires, one set is just pass-through from the engine compartment to the interior and another is the hot set of wires. The supplement is wrong when it differentiates between the hot and pass-through. Reference this post for the correct set of wires to hook up to (in your case, the hot set): https://www.fordraptorforum.com/threads/aux-switch.79018/#post-1539846

Thanks, I found both and have tried both. But the switches themselves inside the truck do not light up at all.

Just an update, I went out with a circuit tester and none of the upfitter fuses are even getting power to them. WTF. Checked the console where the switches are and theyre plugged in. There has to be something Im missing.

I checked all the upfitter related ones and fuses are all fine, but there isnt any power going to those fuses. So somewhere something is not connected. Gonna take it to the dealer tomorrow.
FWIW the layout of the fuse block compared to the manual is sort of funky. I had one switch that wasn't working and I swore the fuse was good. Once I figured out how the legend is actually laid out, I found the fuse that was blown. And I'm a car guy with lots of experience working on stuff from '55 to present. May be worth another look. Not sure what feeds the 'block' of the switches, but maybe that is blown or even missing.

So because I already wired the light into it the dealer says they cant look at it or warranty it because it wasnt done by ford...... And they're trying to charge me a a diagnostic fee.

Going to pick it up now.
