Back in 2014 I spent close to three months trying to figure this out for my 2013 RAM Sport. Tracking down the switch, finding someone to make that power distribution center, and finding wiring diagrams. I was close to $300 into it when I threw in the towel and sold the whole lot. NOW I find this video.

If you get the appropriate kit it should tell you how to wire everything at the trucks are set up for from the factory you might have to bring it to the dealer to flash something I’m not 100% sure on that but I know there’s a designated spot to mount that box instead of screwing it to the fuse panel I think it’s on the passenger side firewall were supposed to go
