So I had to take my truck in...
Long story short, I've been having an issue with my upfitter switches ever since my truck had it's electrical hissy fit this summer. Some or you may recall the catastrophic electrical melt down that it had. Anyway...
I got it back and was in a hurry to head West to go four wheeling with the family. I've been having an intermittent short in my upfitters since that time. Now my compressor is the only thing wired to my upfitters at the moment. It ran some days and blew fuses the next. I bugged Darren for the wiring diagrams and he was nice and helpful getting them to me not once, but twice. I forgot I had asked him one time...thanks Darren .
I replaced the switches first. It was cheap and easy. Then I went through and trouble shot each and every step. I came to the same conclusion every time...chaffed wire some where. I couldn't find it...I gave up and took it in. The Tech at my dealership found it in 30 minutes and fixed it. It was one of the wires replaced during my electrical issue this summer. According to the Tech, it was not properly protected or secured, but I know the Tech that fixed it this summer (different dealership as I was out of town on a Scouting trip) was in a hurry to get me my truck back for the trip. I'm chalking it up to "5h!t happens". Glad my Tech down here got me going quickly and it didn't cost me a ton of money.
Now after I get back from hunting, I may need to do some upgrades...

Don't care for a slammed truck, but I love the grill, bumper and air dam on her.
