Now that is great info. Next question for this not so in the know about Auto Wiring, where are you guys pulling your ground from?

The chassis should be grounded

Fuel pump for the aux tank and Air bag compressor.

I agree 100%. Standing on a stool and being right handed makes it rough to tap onto the short wires under hood.
https://www.fleet.ford.com/truckbbas/non-html/Q117-R2.pdf also a lot of information on YouTube. Just search for : How to wire uplifter switches in Google.

Read your book. There are 4 blunt ends up behind the emergency brake, PIA to get to. I don't remember the colors, and I think you have to pull the panel under the steering wheel.

Not only are the up-fitters too short, the wire size is just barely adequate.

The pass through wires are equally too short. Ever try and use the under hood side?

Nope, I didn't use them, I ran my own

I am having this issue also. How did you set this up? Would love to do this also.

Chuck, I connected the solenoid 5amp fused power wire to one of my upfitter switches, so I can turn the sensor off until unhooked.

Jon is right, mine are near base of steering wheel.

[Not sure about the Ford, but the Ram connections are under the hood with water tight connectors for each wire you are hooking up and a ground position as well.]

I figured they would at least had a grounding point there.

Here are two links I found on YouTube that do a good job of showing you what is involved.

Thanks, and sorry for being slow to respond, we're on the road these days. Here are pix of my GPS mount, dashcam and CB.
