Upfitter Switchs

Where do tie my accessories in at? Are the upfitter switches ready to go, where do you pick up the power from these switches at? Thanks

The wires (4 of them) should be under the dash. They are blunt cut and capped with a label around them. First two are 30AMP rated and the second are 10AMP.

My 07 is behind the fuse panel under the drivers side dash, but I think the 08s are under the center? Not positive, can't remember.

They are under the lower dash panel in front of the driver. They are NOT the four wires you can see just by looking under the dash. Just as a little correction.....the first two are 30a the third is 15a and the fourth is 10a. Hope this helps. FYI all the info is in your owners manual....it gives the color code for each wire.

they are also uplifter switch wires. that way you do not have to pull wires through the fire wall. for light and other good stuff.

Technically they are not "upfitter" wires. Ford calls them "Blunt cut pass through" wiring. They match with four blunt cuts under the dash so you won't have to run wires through the firewall for accessories. They can be used for any accessories that uses a small gauge wire such as plow controls, aux lights, etc. Don't have to be usedin conjunction with the upfitters. Pretty smart thinking for Ford if ya ask me.
