Thanks for the compliment - I'll keep 'em coming...

Cheers from a Brit across the pond! Enjoy the disco. I'd love to see where you take that thing!

Everyone should have a friend called Scot, who can fab stuff!

If you're out there in the boonies a front light bar is a great addition as well. Have fun in your PW.

@@goofingoffroad Thanks. Phase 2: Offroading starts soon.

Thanks Dino - I'm glad it helped!

Yes, It's really easy to remove - just unclip the plug, remove the positive and negative lead and then take the metal strut off. You have to remove the metal strut to get the battery out anyway, so it's not much more work.

Thanks for the tip on the wires! He is my friend Scot. There are many like him, but this one is mine :)

The brace is there from the factory and would need to be removed to replace the battery anyway. The only additional steps would be to unplug the harness, positive and negative wires from the switch pros. So it's not a lot more work. And - hopefully I don't have to replace the battery too often!

I don't have any available, but it's pretty easy to reproduce using CAD (cardboard aided design).

I didn't use the pink wire. It's a trigger wire, and you can use it to turn on 4 switches - so, for example, you could connect it to the high-beam wire, and when you turn on your high beams it could turn on 4 light bars for you. Hope that helps!

@@goofingoffroad That's what I was hoping to hear. Thanks, Installing mine tonight. I have the HD (Cummins), fuse's to tap into should be the same I'm thinking/hoping.

@@laurencehiggins239 cool. When you've completed the installation can you pop back here and confirm if its the same, or let us know what was different?

@@goofingoffroad Used fuse 90 for the ignition wire. Works like an absolute beut…. Wiring up my Baja designs light bar today. Rock lights got wired up same day and it was cake.

@@laurencehiggins239 - That's awesome! Enjoy!

I was surprised at this. IMO it’s poor product planning. I like my switch pros better though :)

I wondered about that. I’m receiving a 2023 Ram HD soon (ish?), and it will (supposedly) come with the auxiliary switches. Guess I’ll find out how useful they actually are.

If you are planning on installing any extra lights they are tremendously helpful. I've really appreciated having a factory option in the Ford Raptor for sure!

@@goofingoffroad there will very likely be extra lights. In Alaska, it’s common and legal to use off road lights on road. We call them moose lights. Most folks tie them in to the high beams.

That makes a lot of sense. I personally like the flexibility of being able to operate my additional lights (especially fog lights) independently of the factory lights. That way, for instance, if I'm in a white-out snow storm I can turn off all the white lights and use the amber lights to see where I'm going :)

Interesting! Thanks for sharing. The dealer I bought my truck from called the Mopar factory rep for the area, who assured us they were not an option for the configuration of my truck. I know they are an option for some of the power wagon configurations. If you were able to get them in your 2022 with the large infotainment screen, then please send the link for the part # to help other folks out.

@@goofingoffroad I did not know about the aux switches when I ordered my truck but have seen on You tube people with them and also adding them after the fact.

aux switches aren’t a factory option for the Power Wagon or (I think) the HD Rebel. It’s weird.

@@fscottgray9784 Aux switches are available in any modification except PW. And if you take Rebel, then there is an interesting story: HEMI gives a winch as an option, and as soon as you choose it, Aux is not available. But with a diesel engine, where there is definitely no winch, aux switches are available.

Power Wagons are a strange beast; other 2500s actually have a dedicated Auxiliary fuse panel(and firewall mounted plugs with a direct connection to the switches) that is used by the factory "Aux switches" and makes tying into the dash mounted switches super easy. I don't understand why that option is missing for Power Wagons and I wasn't able to get it either when I tried custom ordering a Power Wagon with the factory Aux switches. It looks like it should be possible to retrofit the "factory" option Aux switches and under hood setup but, it also looks way more complicated than just using this Switch Pro setup. With Diesels you can also get a secondary battery as a factory option and that is another thing that is missing from the power wagons. You can certainly install a secondary battery yourself since it would just bolt right in using OEM components or you can use the location to mount an ARB compressor.
