[QUOTE="BIRDMAN, post: 345541, member: 18"] [B]Yes, again. This time with more pictures and *hopefully* simplest instructions yet. 1. Choose your upfitter switch based on the current draw your lighting device creates. To determine the amperage, divide the wattage of the device by 14.4v. Amps = watts/volts From the factory the switches are fused as follows (Fuse # in under hood fuse/relay panel): [B]AUX 1 30A (#18) AUX 2 30A (#19) AUX 3 15A (#44) AUX 4 10A (#28)[/B] 2. Remove the dash panel on the passenger side by pulling straight out. It's made easy by grabbing on to the vent hole and giving a gentle pull. Remove the panel and put aside. [ATTACH=full]204037[/ATTACH] 3. Release the glove box by opening it and pulling in the box sides to clear the rubber stops. The glove box will just hang down. [ATTACH=full]204038[/ATTACH] 4. Take a look inside toward the right the glove box opening. You will see 8 dead end wires. Based on which AUX switch you have chosen to use, locate the corresponding wire and strip it (make sure the switch is off of course). The +12v power comes from these wires. [B]AUX 1 [COLOR="Yellow"]Yellow[/COLOR] AUX 2 [COLOR="Green"]Green[/COLOR] with [COLOR="Sienna"]Brown[/COLOR] tracer AUX 3 [COLOR="Purple"]Purple[/COLOR] with [COLOR="Green"]Green [/COLOR]tracer AUX 4 [COLOR="Sienna"]Brown[/COLOR][/B] [ATTACH=full]204039[/ATTACH] 5. The other 4 wires you will see - [COLOR="Green"]Green[/COLOR], [COLOR="Blue"]Blue[/COLOR], [COLOR="Purple"]Purple[/COLOR] and [COLOR="Red"]Red[/COLOR] are the "pass through wires". One end of them is behind the glove box, the other end is under the hood near the firewall on the passenger side. These wires are "passed through" the firewall for your convenience.

Under the hood you will see the other ends of those 4 pass through wires - [COLOR="Green"]Green[/COLOR], [COLOR="Blue"]Blue[/COLOR], [COLOR="Purple"]Purple[/COLOR] and [COLOR="Red"]Red[/COLOR]. Whichever wire you connected your AUX switch wire to is the one that is now energized +12v (when the switch is on) and the wire you should use to run to your device.
