Connecting to Uplifter switches

how do i determine which blunt cut wire to use to connect to one of the aux switches in my 2005 F-250 Lariet? which one is best to use for a strobe light mounted to my backrack.....I have wires ran, but now i am stumped, because there are so many blunt wires behind the dash/steering column..............thanks

The four wires from the upfitter switches should be labeled. They are right under the steering colume. Switches 1 & 2 are 30 amp fused. Switches 3 & 4 are 10 amp fused.

Depending on amp draw for your strobe, pick a switch and wire up to it.

Good luck

Here are the upfitter switch wire colors that are under the dash just behind the fusebox:

Aux-1 wire color: Orange/Lt. Green [30amp]
Aux-2 wire color: Orange [30amp]
Aux-3 wire color: Orange/Yellow [10amp]
Aux-4 wire color: Orange/Lt. Blue [10amp]

Here is the Special Vehicle Bulletin which outlines where to find & how to use the Upfitter Switches.
