Guys,
A long time ago I tried finding a clean/no-cut solution for this and got nowhere. A recent radio and GPS install got me back into the wiring on my truck. Instead of jumping the output of the upfitters relays (that appear under the dash) to the pass-though wire back out to the engine bay, I'd like to pull power straight from the relay block and save the pass-through wires for other uses. I've pulled the terminals from switched side of the relay box and here is what they are. I haven't had any luck in finding them or even anything close. The plan is to just run wires (of the correct gauge for amp ratings) to a terminal block under the hood, then wire my accessories there.
Is anyone here a tech with a login to Ford PTS (Professional Technician Society)?
Here is what the MOTORCRAFT WIRING PIGTAIL KITS/WIRING TERMINAL KITS IDENTIFICATION GUIDE says...
To help identify which kit you need, Ford has started updating the Online Wiring Manual on the Ford PTS
(Professional Technician Society) website with terminal information. Not all manuals will have this information.
Here’s how it works:
• When you are looking at a wiring diagram on a 2013 or newer vehicle, click on a connector number
(C Number). It will take you to the Connector Face View page where there is a box that says “Check
for Terminal Part Numbers.”
• Click on it and it will display the Ford Engineering Part number of each terminal in the connector.
There also will be a chart that shows the terminal part number and the Service Part Number of the
Wire Terminal Repair Kit that will service that terminal.
I was hoping to find this somewhere but so far my results have been zero. I was hoping the upfitter relay block could be located on PTS and possibly a terminal part number could be identified.
I know I could cut the wires on the harness and use them but that's cutting the main harness, something I am not willing to do. Haven't looked at the junk yards but main harnesses for $300-400. If anyone here has one and is willing to cut this part out for me let me know.
I talked with @carstereocompany about this and he's chasing down with a friend.
