Took awhile but I have the upfitter switches functional.

First step was replacing the lower dash panel with one from an 05. Had to get the 05 cup holder and trash hook. Have to trim behind the panel a bit. Fit looks good.

Second step was mounting the relay box that comes with the kit. It mounts above the pass glove box. Had to drill one mounting hole. Other was there. Had to trim part of the glove box but not by much. I them routed the wiring harness over to the upfitter switch and plugged that in. You then attach the ground. I pulled the fuse box down and routed the end of the harness to there and stopped. Needed to figure out how I was going to complete the wiring. researched it a lot.

Last phase an it wasn't as bad as I thought it might be. There is a connector called C270K on back of the fuse box. On the 05 an up models that is where you plug in the upfitter harness and your done. There is a C270K on my 02 but wasn't wired for this purpose. Looking at wiring diagrams from the 05 and 02 showed that Ford used powerport fuses for the upfitters. The trucks didn't have them anyway. They were in the fuse box for the Excursion I bet. What I did was remove the existing C270K connector an transfer the 2 existing wires to the upfitter connector. I pulled wires 4 an 5 out of the connector. 4 was a conflict with an existing wire. I think it has something to do with the trailer setup. Wire 4 on the upfitter harness powers the relay box. I connected it to the customer access wire. Find a hot wire if you want the AUX switches hot all the time. Wire 5 lights the switches. I ran a wire to the back of the headlight switch.

I tested each of the blunt upfitter wires an they all have power. AUX 1 uses fuse F2.108. AUX 2 uses F2.109. AUX 3 uses F2.3. AUX 4 uses F2.5. I read someone else with a different year, 04 I think, found that fuses F2.3 and F2.5 were not connected in the fusebox itself and had to pull those wires from the connector and power them elsewhere. I lucked out I guess with my 02. They must have changed the fusebox.

I recently added the newer tow mirrors. Had the lights all wired up and working. I waited on for the upfitter switches to connect my heated mirrors. Connected them to AUX 4. Works great.

Next project is getting the Ford remote entry/start installed.
