Upfitter Switches - your use?

[1adam12]

My 2015 Ford F-250 6.7 came with upfitter switches and I currently am not using them for anything. I was wondering - what are some possible/interesting uses you all have found for these. I'm always "tinkering" around and am trying to think of some good uses for these switches.

I use mine for fuel transfer pump, emergency lights, and siren.

I have the compressor for the on-board air bags on one.

Good for installing back up lights on your unit,

I had the same question a while back. Here is a link to the thread I started with a lot of great input from the folks here.

LOL....I don't mind if you ask again. Perhaps someone missed it the first time around.

I think I'm going to add a LED light bar up front. Wire it to a upfitter. Program it to shut off when I turn the key off.
Haven't thought about the rest of them. Let me think.......

I like the light bar idea

I have my compressor for my train horns on one and the actual activation signal on another. Think I will have jwalker wire my tpms into one as well. Lol

Thinking of the electric train horn wired to an upfitter and program it to momentary contact.

What else......

So what do you guys do if you accidentally hit the button early in the morning at the campground?

I blame it on the other white Ram that looks almost identical to mine. And if your not there........I blame it on a Ford.

Hide away cb on one, compressor for the air bags on one, bed lights on one, and the last one sends juice to a relay which activates the explosives for the wife's ejection seat she knows nothing about...
