Uplifter Switches

I am in the process of running power to the Fill-Rite fuel transfer pump in the back of my 2005 F250. I was planning on using one of the 30 amp uplifter switches but found out the uplifter circuits are "hot" only when the ignition key is in the run position. My previous understanding was these switches were also hot with the iginition in the accessory position. Any idea why Ford has wired them this way? How hard is it to modify these circuits so they are hot in the accessory position?

It would probably be easier to add your own switch than to replace or rewire the upfitter switches.

I have a F-450, and too would like to have the switches operate with the key in the off position (one is used for a low current draw L.E.D. traffic light) let me know if you have any solutions. Scott
