when i did my 07 i just hooked the two wires together and high-idle is activated by depressing the e-brake. i don't have the upfitter switches and didn't see the need to add a switch. whenever i want the high-idle i just depress e-brake and trans in park

I don't think the 04's have the orange wire. The "orange" PTO was added in 05 from what I understand. I might be wrong, but the directions for the 03-04 doesn't mention it.

I read those instructions, I was trying to do it without a switch and just use the e-break like Serapis did here https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/1007950-high-idle-mod-a.html.
So I wonder if I take wire 322 and wire 294 and just splice them together with no switch? It should put it into high idle mode until I hit the break correct?

Roadrunner, What two wires? I just ran mine to the fuse box with a 10a fuse in an unused spot.

not working for me....
I have an 05...I found what i think is the correct "orange" wire...that was in a bundle behind the Ebrake. I spliced on a piece of wire and ran it to my fuse box. I used the 20a radio fuse. I was not able to get the high idle to engage. Truck was in park, and Ebrake was on. What am I missing? Is there another orange wire I should be looking for? This one was in a bundle of probably a dozen wires. They all had black coated ends. The wrap around them said "body builders". Thanks in advance for the help.

It is definitely the solid orange wire. I tested with a volt meter and am getting 12v from it.
