Question Upfitter switch possibilities

I’ve found a complete lack of information about the Upfitter system. I work with a fleet of 8 SD’s from 2007 to 2022 and 2 Transit Vans, all with Power Strokes. Several of them came with wiring harnesses in the glove compartment, none have any info on what they are used for or even where they plug in. Can anyone point me in the direction of where to find this information? Thanks

Upfitter switch setup has changed a number of times over the years, and of course between truck models, so you will need to look for specific info for each different model you are working with.
Most have youtube videos made for them, so worth looking there for guidance.

This info can be really hard to find. Here’s the upfitter bulletin for the 2011-16 Super Duty trucks:

Not sure what the wires you found in the glove box might be, not part of the upfitter switches. Also, check the owners manuals, they should have some reference to the upfitter switches aswell.

Newer super duties have a set of dummy plugs for tailgate removal and some have had a brake controller harness in the glove box.

More info:

2020 Transit Body and Equipment Mounting Manual (I *really* like this manual; see the Index to find Aux Switch info in Section 4.21):

https://madocumentupload.marketingas...e5b3d&v5=False


2021 Super Duty Body Builders Layout Book (see Index to find Upfitter Switches):

https://madocumentupload.marketingas...4a8a3&v5=False


I have no idea about “harnesses” in the glove boxes. Can you post pictures?

I hope you’ll share the results of your application projects!

Update: See page 135 in the Transit manual for information on Accessory Kits, including harnesses.

I wish we had a manual like this for our Super Duty trucks.

OK!

Here’s a link to the 2019 Transit Body Mounting and Equipment Manual:

https://madocumentupload.marketingas...1318f&v5=False

The Transit harnesses sure look like the ones described in the manual’s “Accessory Kits”; see 2019 Manual pages 136 and 137.

You should be able to Google on the harness part numbers to confirm / get more application info.

HTH,
Jim / crewzer
