Center console 12V to Uplifter Switch

I am looking at adding 12v in my center console to the uplifter switch.

Has anyone done this? Was hoping there is a wire under the hood I could tap into?

You want switched power to your console? Yeah, the upfitter stubs are under the hood. You can extend one to the pass thru wires and that’ll get you into the cab. That’s a convenient place to grab a ground too. From there you can tuck and zip-tie over to the console. Access is easy enough to drill a hole and have your wires emerge just about anywhere you want.

perfect, I was hoping I could find a wire under the hood but not that big of a deal. Thank you for your help

Just for a thought, I used an upfitter lead to power a fuse strip on the driver's side to power a few items I wanted on while driving. It works very well and easy to change when I want to add another device.
