Extra Aux Switches Anyone??

[loki_13]

I like how you used a second switch panel. i wouldn't have thought to do that.

I put a second set in on the side of my console.




They are for my rear camera by-pass low amps no relay..
Trans cooler fan, 30 amp relayed.
And rear LED dust light no relay.
with one left for the future.
The Illumination LED's in them are changed to red like the rest of my dash and are wired in to the dimmer...
"Factory" look and function..

I finally noticed something after seeing your mod about 10 times. It looks like you used an upfitter switch panel that is NOT from a Ford Raptor. Is that correct? The right side of your panel is flat, you left side is curved.

I was thinking it might look better in your location with the right side curved and the left side flat.

Your panel appears to be from a dash mounted Aux switch installation. Maybe from a different model Ford truck??

You my friend are observant...
I new the Raptor had a flat side like the one I bought but I never realized it was on the opposite side..
I just walked out to my truck and looked at them..
Yes I I could have changed to the Raptor switch (if I had realized they were diff.) But I think I pulled it off..
WIZ
We might be able to take the switch apart and flip the face plate around

It still looks good. You may be correct that the plate could be turned around. It wouldn't surprise me if Ford used the same part.

Now I'm wondering if "I" put the thing back together wrong. I did have it apart to change the LED's to red..
Was this ordered for a Raptor or an F-250 ?

The thing is I had them both apart at the same time I can't believe I didn't notice this.

Hmmmmm
Usually switch parts are keyed so they can only be put together in one direction...
(I have a funny feeling this is going to bother me and i'm gona end up taking a switch apart to see what I did ...LOL)

Ok, I'm getting ready to do this mod. I'd like to make sure I got everything before I rip into it.

I got the switch panel (AL3Z-13D730-AA) and pig tail (3U2Z-14S411-DLB) on order. Looks like I need a relay and fuse / fuse holder for each switch. Is there a factory fuse I can buy and use?

Wiz already described how to wire the pig tail. So it shouldn't be to bad, right?

What else do I need, besides typical wire and electrical connectors?

Speaking of wire, what gauge should I be using?

Any follies to be aware of?

Thanks,
