Aux Switches without engine on

Hi guys, I have a 2020 with the diesel. I know that ford requires the motor to be running to use the aux switches. I have some amber/white strobes that are already wired into the switches but would like to have the ability to not alway have the truck idling to use them I didn't see it in the 20-21 forscan spreadsheet. My dealer (which is great to me) said they could do this with their ids systems on older trucks but it wasn't an option (at least yet) on the 20s and up. Just wondering if you 20-21 guys figured this out yet

Thanks,
Mike

I didn’t check that link but he’s correct Upfitter Switches five and six can be made to be hot full-time all you need to do is go into the outfitter relay box and move over the fuse - it slides over to the other position and it it will make five and six hot
