How To Wire Ford F-250 / F-350 Super Duty Upfitter Switches (Professional Wiring) | AnthonyJ350

[@anteup75]

Your work is going to last longer than the frame

[@AnthonyJ350]

I hope so. I was taught to do work to the best of my ability and if anyone else works on the vehicle, they shouldn't have to second guess my workmanshipm

[@gusplaer]

Huh, first video i found that actually shows where the wires hook into instead of just blabbering on and on.

[@AnthonyJ350]

Glad it helped!

[@stealthg35infiniti94]

Very nice installation. The routing to factory wiring is professional attention. Here in Florida, I use a lot of Stainless Steel fasteners for exterior installations in vehicles. It resists corrosion a lot better then plated fasteners.

[@AnthonyJ350]

Thanks so much for sharing!

[@dannyball2503]

Very helpful , thanks for putting in the time to share this information. Your wiring is grade A , like how you followed factory standards with your stuff.

[@AnthonyJ350]

Thanks so much for your kind words! Glad you like the workmanship.

[@Curtisbroughton]

Great video, nice neat professional work.

[@AnthonyJ350]

Thanks so much!

[@jewllake]

Do you have a link to where I can buy that Tessla tape? Here in the states it's not that readily accessible. I think I bought something similar at home depot called gaffers tape by 3M.

[@AnthonyJ350]

Oh you can find a lot of the stuff I use in my Amazon store www.amazon.com/shop/anthonyj350?listId=35THEUTYV6ZQ4

Nice work! I'm wondering how you install a back up siren in these newer f250/350s? I need to put one in our new shop truck and would HATE to tap into the factory wires in the back. I've been wondering if there's a t-harness or something similar that I could use? Any suggestions would be appreciated.

[@AnthonyJ350]

You could get a t-harness that snow plows use on the 7-way and wire into there.

[@DapimpBDSD]

@@AnthonyJ350 hmm, yes, my boss did mention that (we'll be installing a snow plow at some point) . That'll probably be the best solution Thanks

2023 F250 I found uplift wiring lower right side that didn’t look to be connected to any thing? Trying to learn why as I also have wiring like your video under hood.

[@AnthonyJ350]

They're there so you can hook up auxiliary devices.

[@timmerbig]

Great install, clean and makes sense. Regarding what side to run the wires up to the harness, on a 21', with the harness on the passenger side of the engine compartment, is it better to run the wires up the drivers side with the factory wires over the passenger side? Do you have a preference? Thanks!

[@AnthonyJ350]

I run on the driver's side because typically the exhaust is ran on the passenger side and I prefer to stay away from it. All the factory harnessing is typically on the driver's side and you can zap strap to that.

[@silentbravo]

What year was this truck? If I ever go junkyard shopping I'm going to have to put these on my radar to grab that aux relay box, it looks like it could be retrofitted as a standalone for other projects.

[@AnthonyJ350]

It was a 2019 or 2020

[@silentbravo]

@@AnthonyJ350 I looked these up on ebay, that newer style (2019+) relay box is like a complete standalone part, would be perfect for DIY upfitting. Of course finding one used for a decent price won't happen for a while. I see the older style 4 switch combos are quite a bit cheaper though and probably would work well.

[@tomrollman8914]

Very nice work. Are any of the switches hot when the ignition is off?

[@AnthonyJ350]

I don't think so

[@drewvarrio5321]

Very nice work

[@AnthonyJ350]

Thanks for watching!

[@ldberringer]

My 2006 had auxiliary switches not sure if they started before that

[@AnthonyJ350]

Thanks for sharing!

[@chupp4968]

Do they also have them pigtails one the inside by passenger side kick panel for interior hook ups? Or do i need to go through the firewall?

[@AnthonyJ350]

I think it's all under the hood.

[@chupp4968]

@AnthonyJ350 I found 4 pass through wires coming by the passenger foot kick panel if that makes sense. But ya easy peasy to hook into those for interior hook ups. Factory already went through the firewall for us!! That's on a 2018 f350

[@dannymartinez4588]

Pls help, my truck does not come with upfitter switches and looking to install them. I would like a stock look and my question is do I need to replace the whole overhead console or can I just replace the mesh with a cut out for the switches to be inserted? Thanks

[@AnthonyJ350]

You'll need to replace the whole upper console I believe. Is your truck prewired?

[@carls2210]

Did you unhook the batteries while you soldered the wires?

[@AnthonyJ350]

I don't, I just make sure the switch is off and verify with a multi-meter. If you're not sure, go ahead and disconnect the battery(s).

[@justinv6838]

Just curious, what are the small vent looking holes near the aux. switches?? There’s 4 of them, just curious thx!!

[@AnthonyJ350]

Which minute mark in the video?

[@redneckhippy1454]

I had 07 with uplifter swiches.

[@AnthonyJ350]

Nice!

[@nwyfzguy]

Where do you connect to the upfitter switch? I thought that's what this video was about!

[@AnthonyJ350]

It's the connections under the hood, shown in the video.

[@kargmeister]

The upfitter switches are already wired to the relay/fuse panel. You just have to hook up power and ground like shown in the video.

[@someguy4476]

I thought they had more pigtails around the truck? Like a bundle by the spare and a bundle by the PTO? Like the already present pass through wires through the firewall?

[@AnthonyJ350]

This is what this truck had. It only has so many switches in the overhead console. If there were more wires, how would you control them?

[@someguy4476]

@@AnthonyJ350 nevermind.

[@lewisk2418]

​@someguy4476 I got you mate, I clicked on your comment because I wanted to know the same thing. Are there the same bunch of outputs located at the PTO and rear of truck all with the same output relay? Eg, if you use the blue wire for a PTO output then you couldn't use that same BLUE output under the hood or at the rear. Saves running wires to these places. I suspect NO as in the vid if this was the case he would have used the rear outputs for his lights rather than running them all the way up to the hood. Nice thing for Ford to add in future models though. ...

[@washinefarms]

I have a 2006 ford f 350 with upfitter switches. It's a lariat so that could be why also.

[@AnthonyJ350]

Thanks for sharing!

[@thatwide_square]

my 07 has these switches and trying to find where to find power for them

[@AnthonyJ350]

Good luck

[@poundsonwood]

Upfitter switches first became available with the 2005 MY.

[@AnthonyJ350]

Thanks for the info!

[@jakemoffatt1100]

The truck wasn't running did you bypass something?

[@AnthonyJ350]

I had ignition on with the engine off when I was demoing in the video.

[@TheMaster3782]

Most of this has NOTHING about upfitter switches. It’s mostly about how wonderful they are in installing stuff in the truck bed.

[@AnthonyJ350]

Wow the entitlement and instant gratification is strong in this one. Do you whine this much all the time? You could have just read the owner's manual but you were too lazy or maybe you just can't figure how an instruction manual works, that's why you're here. Go to 3:16 of the video and I show you where the wires are. Think you can figure it out from there? Or do you want me to spoon feed you some more. Sorry for giving ideas of using plugs and how to run wires.

[@AnthonyJ350]

The title also says "how to wire". Not "what are upfitter switches".

[@barryinn1778]

That was the worst up fitter switch video, your title made it seem your going to show switches and how to connect them.

[@AnthonyJ350]

I did, I show you where the connections are located in the truck and how to do runs and make the connection.

[@AnthonyJ350]

Did you need me to spoon feed you the answers more for free? Complaining publicly isn't a form a currency. Why don't you bring your truck to a shop and pay a professional to do it for you?

[@Gchupp]

@@AnthonyJ350 isn't he referring to the bundle of pigtails by the passenger side kickboard as well? That's confusing to me too, do I need to do anything with them wires down there or just strictly the ones under fuse box, and how do I know witch switch I'm hooking up to? Care to share?

[@AnthonyJ350]

@@Gchupp You use a multimeter on the wire and flip the switch till you see 12 volts.

[@BRIGHTBURNER76]

Video kinda sucked you didn't show where to locate the auxiliary ports under the hood .

[@AnthonyJ350]

What auxiliary ports? At 3:18 I show you where the wires are located to hook up to. Did you watch the whole video?
