I lost track of where I was. If not I can delete and re do them.

I have and they are super easy.

Reliable? Which ones have you used?

So they would work good in the tight space for wiring the up-fitter switches?

Sorry Bird, don't mean to hijack your thread, but it is kind of relevant...

Looks like I am going to need to do a continuity test! Two pass through wires are the same color...

For some reason I thought I would review my wiring notes and have a question. First of all, this is how I wired my truck.

Behind Glove Box:
#1 30A Yellow goes to Purple & runs (20" Rigid)
#2 30A Green w/brown tracer goes to Green & runs (D2 Spot)
#3 15A Purple w/green tracer goes to Blue & runs (D2 Flood)
#4 10A Brown goes to Red & runs (D2 Diffused rear bumper)

The colors under hood are:
Purple
Green
Blue
Red


My question is.....Are the colored wires (same guage) under the dash go directly to the under hood (RF Fender)?

Is the Yellow, Green w/brown, Purple w/green, and Brown behind glove box the finial lead after fuse and relay????

Is there a problem with how I wired?

All the wires that "pass through" the firewall from the glove box area to under the hood are the same gauge. The actual aux wires behind the glove box are sized according to what is appropriate based on their fuse rating.

Thanks Birdman! Wired up a pair of Rigid Dually D2's this past weekend and it helped out alot!

On a side note: Damn Ford didn't leave much room to get to those wires in the dash.. What a pain in the ass!
