Up Fitter Switch Usage
Question on the use of the up fitter switches
I downloaded the information from
So my question to acutally hook up something I need to connect to one of the selectable wires
Example - if i was planning to have a second set of back up lights I would need to run one of the wires all the way to the back and thru the cab and along the frame rail to the back bumper?

I'm sure glad to have the upfitters. I use #3 for my 12v. fuel shutoff valve and Airtex fuel pump. This is how I transfer fuel from auxillary tank to aft tank. AutoMeter fuel gauge hooked to aux tank fuel sender gives me the fuel level in this tank. I have the gauge mounted next to driver's grab handle on the door pillar and the gauge sets on dash. You'll find many uses for the upfitter switches.
I run the wires behind driver's kick panel, then the door sill molding and finally out the rubber grommet on the lower back lower left corner of cab. And then of course you can use tie wraps to fasten to inside of frame rail and go wherever you want with the end.

I'm dying to use mine, but I'm long past industrious enough to crawl around under the truck and do WORK 
need to schedule some time to get my camera installed, my in bed 5th wheel plug, my backup lites, etc. etc...

I agree that you will find many uses for those switches and I know I need about 4 more of them. I just wish they would have made the wires a little bit longer so you don't have to lay on your back in the front floorboard to get to them.

There are wires that already run thru with the lume into the eng compartment, they are behind the fuse box drivers side, they are short and a pain to work with but they are there.
The wires are located up above E-Brake in that mess, I identified the ones behind fuse box searched the bitter ends in cab and spliced them all at once. Then while I was doing my first add on put butt conecters on all 4 behind fuse box, so now all that needs to be done is splice into the next one.
