It’s dumb that there’s 2 wires with the same color. Glad you got it figured out though.
Having been in High end Medical Electronics for the better part of 30 years, I have to agree with you, regardless if it happened to me. Just because the same signal is going to be used for one OR the other, doesn't mean the wire color should be the same color on a plug that's going to be used in two DIFFERENT types of trucks!!! Gas should have been one color and diesel another! Thank you 'jollyrogr'!!!
Done... forgot to get a shot of the kick panel area though... that'll be in my nightmares for a while, so who cares!
Driver's side Upfitter's Relay Box, wires and my wiring to the opposite side of the truck - Yellow wire (or wire with blue butt connector) is S1 Upfitter and I added a second wire (the white one) as either a pull wire or spare for future use, through the tube, while I was doing the job!
This is the firewall tubing - I drilled holes in the plastic panel on the firewall and zip tied it to the holes.
Passenger side fuse box and pass through wires. I used the White/Orange pass through wire and attached my yellow wire to it with a butt splice, then tucked them down behind the fuse box, out of the way. Down inside, I added a green wire to the Wht/Orn to lengthen it and make it easier to work with. From there, it was down to the plug to Pin 7 to trigger the SEIC PTO1 signal to turn High Idle on...
Nicely trimmed out! Thanks for the tips you uncovered on your journey, this is something I'll probably be adding if my F350 ever shows up. One suggestion for the next job, try the butt splices with the hot-melt glue in them, helps to keep moisture out of the splice for better long-term reliability.

I saw them on Amazon when I was ordering my resistor(s) for the job and almost ordered some. I had a box of 50 regular ones that were fairly new from a previous job, so opted out of doing it - they do look pretty sweet though. It actually looks like that's what's on the ends of all the blunt cut wires from Ford - they're more rubbery and single ended, but have some sort of glue oozing out of each one as well!

Yea, I started using them during my boating years and now won't use anything else. There are enough opportunities for all the electrical gremlins around to mess with things that I don't want to provide them any other weak spots! Retired Electrical Engineer.

Went to grab my white vinyl letters this morning to label Upfitter S1 (not that I don't know what it is, but just to properly complete the job). Turns out, my 1/16" and 1/8" letters are only black - all my whites are 1/2" and up! So, I fired up CorelDRAW, made a custom label, printed it, stuck it in a business card lamination pouch and ran it through my "lami", trimmed it, then added some 3M waterproof doublesided tape!
New question for those of you with a 6.7, with the High Idle Mod installed! I'm using it when my wife and I grab an afternoon Iced Coffee/rasberry stick at our local coffee shop, because seating (Covid-19) is extremely limited. We just sit out front with the A/C going and enjoy it there! Anyway, I noticed that the 1300 rpm's isn't routine - every single time I use it, every 10 seconds, there's a 3 second deep burst that sounds almost like "regen" did on my old 6.4! Can it possibly be doing this EVERY time I flip on the High Idle switch? I have an XLT so there's NO indicators to tell me when I'm doing Regen and I haven't developed (at age 70) the nerve, to try Forscan, to add it, even though I have the software and the OBDLink MX Interface.
That would be the fan clutch locking and unlocking.
Thank you 'GasHog'... that makes me feel much better!!! I can't believe how much it sounds like one of the 6.4 Regen sounds! God, I hated that thing! It always seemed to go into Regen as I was pulling into the freakin' driveway... it was a gorgeous truck but a PITA!
