Upfitter switches

[Maxtor]

Ok... they talked me into buying my truck with the upfitter switches. Has anyone found a use for them? Maybe someday I will get a winch. Any other ideas on what to use them for?

Thanks

Good information

Thanks for the good information. It's better to have them and not need them, then need them and not have them.

i dont have the upfitters but ive got some extra switches mounted
in the removable panel under the steering wheel (see my gallery if
your curious)

1) aux reverse lamps (allows u to turn 'em on w/out being in REVERSE)
2) dc/ac invertor
3) radar detector
4) aux driving lights
5) high idle

I have #4 wired to run the stationary engine idle control, ramps up to 1200 rpm and holds it there, really nice on hot days to get the ac cold while i am waiting at the store

#3 is wired for the battery charge protection it JUMPS to 1200 and will regulate rpm based on the need to keep the batteries charged, works great if your running high load items like a winch or inverter, etc.
the #2 runs mu aux driving lights
#1 is waiting for teh aircompressor i am getting myself for fathers day plus a few horns

bes thing about SEIC and BCP is teh safeties, bump teh brake it drops to idle , release the ebrake it drops to idle, resets and counts to 10 then ramps back up if the pcm/ecm detects all is good
i use mine ALOT
