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!

[@tomrollman8914]

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

[@drewvarrio5321]

Very nice work

[@AnthonyJ350]

Thanks for watching!

[@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.

[@DapimpBDSD]

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

[@AnthonyJ350]

[@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

[@ghostpepperrides4805]

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.

[@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.

[@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!

[@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?

[@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

[@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).

[@ldberringer]

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

[@AnthonyJ350]

Thanks for sharing!

[@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.

[@poundsonwood]

Upfitter switches first became available with the 2005 MY.

[@AnthonyJ350]

Thanks for the info!

[@josearce9306]

Where can I buy the switch kit ?

[@AnthonyJ350]

Dealership if you don't have it.

[@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!

[@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.

[@thatwide_square]

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

[@AnthonyJ350]

Good luck

[@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.

[@jeremiahputnam4714]

Where do I get the wire in conduit?

[@AnthonyJ350]

Local install shop or Amazon. You can check my Amazon store for raw materials

[@joeross6523]

Thanks for watching, EH!

[@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.
