2011-2016 Ford Superduty | UP-FITTER SWITCHES | HOT ALL the TIME - Can YOU use yours like ME??

Ford Superduty trucks from 2011 thru 2016 that are equipped with AUX up-fitter switches may need to have the ability of the switches to function when the key is off or with the remote start. WHAT is going on Powerstroke family!! We have another mod for those who have the 2011-2016 Ford trucks. If you remember when we did my 2020 we had to slide the fuse holder to the side an then re-install the fuse. Using the power point as the power source to tap onto was ideal. Let me know if any of you have had to make a AUX switch mod to YOUR 2011-2016 Superduty in the comment section. Remember to LIKE - COMMENT - SUB - SHARE. See you FRIDAY

Wow I like that idea that will work great for my firehouse siren, lights and radio's. Thanks for sharing this ARod

[@BK-dv1hh]

Wow, which I’d seen this prior to installing the switches a couple of years ago...thanks, would have to talk myself into the cramped posture and spaces to do this...we’ll see.

Two other ways to do it. One is using a potentiometer with a on off similar to a volume on off pot. Second way is just moving the purple wire AT the bcm to a always on position. Get the bcm schematic and it’s easy to change.

Hell yeah, gosh sorry i dont know. Had spare stuff justa layin around in thee ol box of treasures

[@robertfontes8859]

Good mod but one problem I see is if you accidentally flip on a switch it could run your battery down. I find one of my switches on a lot due to the placement of the switches and the miscellaneous catch all tray.

[@carls2210]

Hopefully you find a way to do this for 17 and up. That would be awesome but probably harder since our switches are in the headliner.

Great video. I just did this and now my my truck chimes without the key in with the drivers door open. Is this normal?

[@ClassicRefuseTrucks]

Great video, thanks for posting. Shouldn't we protect this new circuit with a 10A inline fuse holder? The cigar lighter circuit is 20A, but presumably the up-fitter switch bank assembly is only rated to 10A. The individual control relays have higher ratings, but that wouldn't protect the the switches themselves from over-current (?)

[@PowerStrokeTechTalkwARod]

This is just to make the switches hot at all times. Not changing the load of the individual circuits

[@ClassicRefuseTrucks]

Worked like a charm, thanks a million and best of luck wherever the future takes you.@@PowerStrokeTechTalkwARod

if i add constant power to pin 8 does that eliminate the fuses and relays of the upfitters switches?

[@kawiman561]

[@PowerStrokeTechTalkwARod]

[@justinpaul4870]

Im no electrician, but it seems like the new blue wire is undersized now that you're allowing up to 20 amps to be pulled through it. maybe its fine? And isn't each switch rated for different amperage? Just seems like they would have done this from factory if it was safe to do.
