Upfitter Switches

[Anthony DeVor]

Has anyone successfully installed the ford factory upfitter switches in their 3rd gen expy or how have you do aftermarket switches and where did you put them? Im looking to install concealed switches/ switches that aren’t easily seen and/or look factory

At one time I had thought about putting them where the cig. lighter is. I was going to cut a piece of black plastic for the switches to replace the trim piece that the lighter is mounted to. Never did it though and put that project on the back burner.

Ill looking at the angled piece of trim under my climate controls, use rocker switches so is flush and a foot pedal

We've used the blank position on the Information Board (next to the 4-way flasher) to convert it to a momentary switch for an air horn. Replaced the button contacts with a triple one from a Limited and switched the button so the blank one would work. Then added a pin to the connector, etc.

That's how the railroad wired their air horns.

That’s the lift-gate button on my Eddie Bauer

Yep, on the XLTs it's unused and has a blank button. Us common folk have to lift our own tailgates. We use the assembly from yours and replace the liftgate button with our blank one.

here is my version of up fitter switches, I'm very pleased with the results, and how they look I ordered them off eBay, I put the black zip ties there just in case I ever need to either change a switch, or put in a different style switch panel. there was a blank space above the rear hvac controls, I trimmed it out with my dremel rotatory kit and ran the wires up under the driver's side lower panel and put butt connectors on the wires so that I can use any of the left over switches and they're in easy reach as well.

Is this done or just the mock up?

I put a mini toggle switch in the lower plastic panel which would be just to the side of the driver's right knee for the emergency lighting on the vehicle. Can't see it but know it's there and very easy to control.

What are you trying to control and how many switches do you need? Do they all need to be within reach of the driver so they can be switched while driving?
