Doug's Cutout Installed

[TED]

has anyone used Doug's cut out and wired it to the stock switches for accessories? I have a butterfly cut out installed by the Ford Dealer and it rattles. Like the Doug's cut out, it has a switch which is rocker style which is not the same style as the accessories on the Raptor. It's on off, not rocker. Any one?

The switch it comes with is a DPDT switch, it flips and positive and negative around depending on which direction you push it. The upfitter switch is only on/off and don't think you can easily make it operate the cutout with only a single switch.

It looks awesome. I am looking to buy Magnaflow exhausts but seeing yours made me change my mind.

I'd be cautious, mine failed as well as someone else's. I've tried QTP, DMH and Doug's. QTP is only one i'll ever buy.

Ok, thx. I theory then, each of the two wires to the motor can be powered up by the switch....power to open and power to close in the opposite wire. I assume when the rocker comes back to neutral position(middle) there is no power to the motor. So, could you power Raptor Aux switch #1 to open it and then click it back to off and then Aux switch #2 to close it and click it back off? the only challenge would be leaving the switch on and blowing a fuse I suppose.....or both switches on at once would be bad.
this doesn't sound too promising

Almost. Say terminal 1 was positive and terminal 2 was negative to open the cutout. To close it, terminal 1 will need to be negative and terminal 2 will need to be positive. I wish it was easier. When I owned the GTO, the panel for the window switches had 2 blanks (came from 4-door holden) and I planned on installing a window switch and DPDT relay to operate teh cutout. I never got around to doing it, even though I had the relay.

I found another Thread about the upfitter switch wiring and he did it with a Dougs cut out and some relays from Zorro tools. He even had a wiring diagram to boot....sweet.
thank you

I stand corrected. Now all of a sudden I wished my cutout still worked!
