Help!!
Hey guys,
I bought a used 2005 f350- i just installed a juice with atitude programer, but when i was running the wire through the grommet i noticed a couple wires bundled up with a switch. I was wondering if somebody give me some advice or info. One of these wires attaches to a red and orange wire thats in a bundle under the dash.

Are the wires you found a grouping of about four wires that seem to go no where? If you are looking at what I am thinking you are, they do nothing.
There are 4 wires under the dash that go through the firewall to above the master cylinder. They end there, not plugged into anything on either end. They are there so you can install lights, gauges, etc, without having to run a bunch of wires. Ford was being friendly by putting them there for us.

Red with orange stripe, or orange with red stripe?
A quick look at the wiring diagrams, I see an orange wire with red stripe in the upfitter bundle, and a red wire with orange stripe from the VSM to the left front door lock switch.
There may be other orange and red wires too, I didn't dig too deep because I didn't really know what I was looking for. I saw a few orange and pink wires, too. Are you sure of the colors?
And, one side of the switch connects to this orange/red wire, where does the other side of the switch connect?
