How to wire FORD upfitter switches - EVERYTHING YOU NEED YOU KNOW.

In this video we use our 2022 f350, with the 7.3 godzilla v8, to show how to wire up-fitter switches.
In my videos I talk about my experience daily driving my F450. My truck has updated 6.7 Powerstroke with 1,050 LB-FT of Torque and 475hp. I also feature my 2019 F250 with the 6.2 L gas v8. Comment below and thanks for watching!

Great showing and explaining.

Great video bro

Question is the uplifted factory grounded. Let’s say you use blue & white wire on the positive red wire like a cb radio do you need to run a ground or is it factory grounded. Thanks

[@cell4me78]

Need help please. Working on a 24’ F550 upfitter. I need the parking brake switch for the SEIC, need to figure out how to get the ground signal to it

[@DynoDieselWagon]

NOTE - 2023 MODELS HAVE CHANGED READ FORD BODY BUILDERS LAYOUT BOOK FOR DETAILS .

[@byronlemay2166]

Indeed, they changed the entire electrical architecture of the truck. For example, you CANNOT remove the bed for upfit on any model except for a bare bones XL or XLT. This has caused quite a bit of grief for upfitters...flatbeds, service bodies, campers, etc.

[@DS-TRUCKS]

Allot Change for 2023. Upfitter switchs are the same.

[@nikkles1200]

2017 - 2019 Up fitter switch wires are on the driver side? 2020 and above are on the passenger side?

[@cooperdog9956]

I missed the part of you showing how to wire the upfitter switches.......

[@AkinKiroglu]

Is this a ranger or ranger rapter because I don’t know

[@JAG6.7]

Any idea where I can actually buy the switch panel? Got a part number. Excellent work stokes

[@DS-TRUCKS]

Forums for parts list. EBay for parts

[@carls2210]

Checkout boosted grey goose designs. They sell the harness and instructions for install come with it. I helped a buddy install the harness and everything on his SD. It was time consuming.

[@wil2fly13]

Just curious, what gauge is your nice ground wire?

[@DS-TRUCKS]

12 Gauge I believe

[@1shotbarbeque881]

Great explanation. Helpful. Do you know what the 4 round holes by the switches are. Are they speakers? Thanks

[@DS-TRUCKS]

Motion detectors. When something moves inside of your vehicle and it's locked. They detect motion and sound your vehicles alarm.

[@heathenfirewoodservice2021]

Where did you get your switch kit from. I’d love to put that 6 way switch in my 2017 f350 xl model truck. Is it hard to find?

[@DS-TRUCKS]

Yes. It came on the truck from Ford

[@heathenfirewoodservice2021]

@@DS-TRUCKS dang. Mine didn’t have them and I want to add them in but the kits I see so far seem cheap and have mixed reviews. Thanks for the info man.

[@Kevthebish]

Twist the wires together and let the heat shrink do the rest? Sounds like fuzzy logic so I decided to use a crimp tool

[@DS-TRUCKS]

If you're using marine grade shrink tube it glues everything together...

[@Craftedinnj]

I had no idea the whole box came out! I'd struggle to splice wiring on my 17 6.7! Can I shoot you a message and ask you something about the display brightness? I haven't found anyone with any answer and maybe you have it haha

[@DS-TRUCKS]

Yes

[@DS-TRUCKS]

What's your question?

[@Craftedinnj]

@@DS-TRUCKS when I got my truck, the display in reverse was the same brightness as the dash, after one of the updates reverse now comes on full brightness and there's no way I can find to change it. (When the display changes to the backup camera)

[@DS-TRUCKS]

@@Craftedinnj are your headlights set to auto?

[@Craftedinnj]

@@DS-TRUCKS no sir, never had them set to auto even when the display stayed at the desired level in reverse. It was definitely a software update that changed it, just wish I could lower it when reversing. It's bright enough that I can't see out of my windows

[@jasonklim27]

Not to complain about this video it's very good for what most people want to do, but why do none of these videos on uplifter switches cover the pass through in the cab. I want to use an uplifter switch for a non powered circuit and I was told I could splice into the pass through under the dash somewhere. What I'm doing, I know is a little ridiculous but I can't stand the door open chime so I cut the wires for the switch to short out the switch to simulate the door being closed. This led to an issue because it now won't recognize the door open and shut off power to the head unit so I soldered them back together with an extra wire on each and want to run them to an uplifter switch without power so I have a door chime kill switch

[@DS-TRUCKS]

I can show you the pass through wires. But.. what you are trying to do probably won't work.

[@DS-TRUCKS]

kzbin.info1COBzopfdFk?si=uS1lg4vYiR2_S4wa there u go... but I don't recommend interrupting your door sensor...

[@jasonklim27]

I have the pass through wires, but it seems they are output only, I am going to try to bypass the power block but I don't know if the switches will work not powered to the relay. May just be time to give up and use a toggle switch

[@jasonklim27]

This is only for temporary use such as detailing the vehicle, hanging out at work with the door open. Last vehicle I just cut the wire and it never recognized the door being open, which led to the ignition power and head unit staying on and me killing batteries so that's why I want to do it on a switch this time

[@DS-TRUCKS]

@@jasonklim27 well. It could probably be turned off with Forscan.

[@rkilbourn]

Obviously not everything I need to know. I was looking for the color map to which aux switches

[@DS-TRUCKS]

What else u need to know
