Did you have to connect power to the battery or just the upfitter swirch

Does the factory switch have a relay/ fuse? I guess you only needed the + and - wires that went to the lights...(?) I have an led light bar I was going to install on my 2014 and it doesn't have wiring harness, wondering if I need just the ground and positive or if I need a relay... Thanks, great vid

The factory switches have fuses but no relay. You would add the relay after the pass through, in the engine bay.

Do you notice any hood glare when driving at night? Also, any issues from dust, snow, or fog with the yellows up high? Pro’s or cons since installing?

@minutemaintenance7385 Жыл бұрын

There is a little bit of glare but the benefits outweigh it. They are a huge help. I've done a couple night runs with them and was never worried about something jumping in front of me unexpectedly.

So the aux switch wires arent powered already? On a 2018 raptor the wires from the aux switches were already hot just needed to connect the lights to it

@minutemaintenance7385 Жыл бұрын

The wires coming out of the switches are hot, but they need to be connected to a "pass through" wire if you're running something on the outside of the truck.

The Gen 1 upfitter switch outputs are hot, like the Gen 2. However, on the Gen 1 these go area behind the glove box, not under the hood like the Gen 2. For the Gen 1, you use the "pass-thru" wires to get the power outside the cab (into the engine compartment). For the Gen 2, those same "pass-thru" wires allow a connection from under the hood, back into the cab. The pass-thru wires are used for the same function, just in opposite direction for the Gen1 & Gen 2. Hope that makes sense?

So where did that yellow wire come from? What did you connect it to?

@minutemaintenance7385 Жыл бұрын

Yellow wire? Under the hood?

@FreedomIsntFree2023 Жыл бұрын

That yellow wire under the dash is the output wire from the upfitter switch (Ford wire). He connected it to the blue "pass-thru" wire, allowing the upfitter switch to power the ditch lights.

So we don’t need the relay to the lights

@minutemaintenance7385 Жыл бұрын

Yes, you will need to use a relay still to run the lights. The amp draw is too high and would pop a fuse.

So the wire you run from the aux switch will power the relay. The relay is connected to power, ground, and sent towards the light.

@RyanLosey Жыл бұрын

You don't need a relay if the load is under the amp rating of the aux switch used. you would only need the relay if the load has a greater draw that the rating of the switch connected to. In this case a couple small LED's you probably wouldn't need a relay.
