I've been wanting a Raptor since the day they were first revealed. I was finally able to pull the trigger on a 2014 with about 86k miles on it. The previous owner did some work to it, but he wanted to upgrade so he gave me a good price. I'm learning a lot about them and I'm always looking for something to add to it.

Two questions I have is one how do you wire up and take advantage of the Aux switches? I want to add some fog lights and maybe a bed light. But I haven't really seen a good tutorial on how to wire it all up. Any tips would help.
Secondly, the rear defrost seems to not be working. I'm not sure if its a blown fuse or something else. I did some minor research and found some people have issues with gunk getting behind a window panel and messing with the wire connection. Just wondering if anyone has experienced this issue, and seeing as how winter is basically here I'm gonna need it.

So far it's everything I hoped it would be. I'll get my wife, our son, two dogs and just ride around nothing crazy yet, just getting used to her. Thanks for reading and I'm looking forward to talking to fellow owners and learning.

I’m going to have to defer to the Gen 1 crew on that truck’s up fitter setup. on the Gen2 we have a pair of bundles on the passenger side firewall in the engine compartment.

The rear defrost may require an entire rear window replaced. The wire connection is known to go bad and no fix is available. Mine quit shortly after I bought it. Haven't really missed it though

I've heard of rear windows exploding with the rear defroster. Mine didn't work when I got it and I left it that way.
