High Idle Mod

Hello,

I did the high idle mod on my 2004....worked great, thank you guys for the inforamtion.

I have a friend that has a 2007. Does the same hold true for this year of vehicle. Are the wires in the same place and the same color?


Thank you

No. A little different.

This page is for '04 and earlier:
High Idle Mod

and there is a link on that page, to this page, for '05-'06 (and maybe later):
TheDieselStop.Com - www.thedieselstop.com

MeyerzF350...was your hot wire the white w/light blue stripe? Do you have upfitter switches, or did you add your own switch?

I did the BCP to the factory #4 up fitter switch. Works like a charm. I only need this for AC or extended idling in the AZ desert.

Since I dont have the upfitter switches...can anyone tell me what the back side (business end) looks like? Does each switch have an illumination light? I want to hook up a Single Pole Single Throw switch with an LED illumination....but it has three blades....hot (dc), ground, and load....does the load and ground get spliced? Without an upfitter switch, I'm not even sure which wire is Hot Key On????Very frustrating.

Here is my info on the switches.
Installing Upfitter Switches - Ford 2005-2007 Superduty

You have an '05, so I would just install the OEM switches.

Bill, great write-up and pics on installation of upfitters...I am thinking now, that's the route I'm going to take IOT accomplish the High-Idle mod.
