upfitter Switches

Hi all ...


I am wanting to put a set of the upfitter switches into my 04.. IIRC they WERE offered in 04 correct??? Or this is going to be a 05 up thing?? I asked while at my dealer recently, BUT he isnt hte brightest bulb in the place, while he showed me a set, I dont know if they were for a 04 or not.

I Do rember that he told me, they required the use of a control box..that the switches werent just switches.

Somebody wanna fill me in here? I know there are some really knowledgeable people, and even some that sell this kinda stuff, hanging around... soo...


Help!!! haha
Thanks!

I've been kicking this around for a while, too. Check out this thread from the tech folder: https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/4...info-here.html. I believe it is for an '04. There are a couple other threads out there on it as well. I did read that a couple of guys got the '05 bottom dash piece that had the cutout for the switches. Sounded like a good idea, but I never saw pics after the install. Some day I'll take the time to do it.

Keep in mind the upfitter kit isn't going to fit your pre 05 dash cubby. There will be some modification needed. I opted to go with the entire 05 lower dash upgrade.

they are not. However you can take them apart to make them a momentary switch.. not to terribly hard.

how much of a PITA is it to change the lower dash??

It's not too bad to change out the lower dash. You will need to modify the plastic molding behind where the new dash piece mounts. It took me about an hour or so to get it all mounted.
