Uplitter switch

I know that you can hook up snow plows to them but what else can you hook up to them and why are their 5 of them if not many things can be hooked up to them?
Thanks

Nice list Repo.
You forgot SEIC.

I'm also using one to shut off my trucks reverse lights when I'm backing up my 5ver at night.

Something is wrong if your truck came with 5 instead of 6 like everyone else's.

So far, I have as 20" light bar on #1, backup/area floods on #6, and my on-board compressor on #5. Don't know what I'll use the other three for, but they're nice to have just in case I find use for them.

klassic - have you done the reverse light mod on your 2017 yet? If so - did you post instructions somewhere? I'd like to do the same since both the horse trailer and snowmobile trailers are wide enough and shiny enough to kill my ability to see past the glow..

Almost Xwild. I've just been waiting for it to get warmer out.
I was going to do it today but my kid got sick.
I know which wire it is. I just have to bring a wire from the upfitter to the back and splice in a water tight relay (which I already have) and ground the relay to the frame, or bring an extra wire back and ground it in the engine compartment.
I haven't taken a good look for grounding yet.
I could put the relay in the engine compartment, I think I see the wire but it is impossible to get to. It's easier to get to at the back end of the truck.
Hopefully I can do it this weekend and I'll post it if it works. I can't see why it won't, but I've been wrong too many times before. Lol.
