A momentary switch would be just fine if you used a relay. (I think.) You could install the factory switches, run a couple new wires and use a relay on each of the new runs.
Tried it and couldn't get it to work, not smart with the programming side of things. Ended up using one of my AUX switches. I like it better this way because I can turn it on whenever I want! May end up doing the rear locker the same way.Anyone know if it is possible to add a Four Button Switch Setup like this, in place of a Three, which came on my Black Diamond (BD), which includes a switch for my Rear Locker?
I eventually want to add a Front Locker to my BD.
Did you try it using a reprogrammer or how/what did you do? I’m thinking of getting the Ford front locker and wiring harness available from Ford (and new half axles). Says requires reprogramming module. I’m wondering instead of using switch that comes w wiring harness, wire to the hero switch..Tried it and couldn't get it to work, not smart with the programming side of things.

I don't know, it's been a while. Got the wiring harness from a vehicle with locker, got the hero switch with front and rear locker and copied all the stuff from a Black Diamond SAS's modules to my modules and it didn't work.Did you try it using a reprogrammer or how/what did you do?

There is a switch kit that you can get, but it's just a regular old two-position switch with a relay.Ford offers the Front Axle Upgrade, including the wiring for it I believe, all except for the OEM Dash Switch?
Why not include the Switch as well?
Good question. Here is a screenshot of the Ford Performance FDUSo if Ford is saying programming is required with this kit, what is being programmed, and for what reason?
But where will you the chicken mcnugget sauce when you are driving?I posted on a year old thread, but it may make more sense to start a new one. I do not have overhead aux switches and saw the thread about adding them. BUT, I only have 4 switches on my dash so there is room for 2 more. I'm wondering if I can swap this out and pick up a couple aux switches here. Photos are from the web of what I have and what I want, with the two new switches being available for the rocket launcher I plan on installing. Anyone have any helpful information?
I forgot, it's probably FAD if you have it and removing it.Good question. Here is a screenshot of the Ford Performance FDU
Since they say you can use the FPT (the M-6603 part) to redo the module configuration, I'm thinking it's just to update the gear ratios - as that's really the only thing you can do with the tuner module. But I can't confirm that.
But, say, if you upgraded from a 190 4.46 to a 210 4.46 - what would change (at least on the computer side of things - obviously mechanically things change a bit) is a very good question, and I can't think of anything really. Unless you wanted to add the front locker capability to the GOAT modes or replace the HERO switch and add it in there (I don't know if any of them actuate the front locker)
If they are only momentary switches you can make a latching relay setup.Keep in mind you’d also need to order the full 6-switch cover as each switch does not have it’s own independent cover.
I have also considered this if I ever run out of upfitters in the future (I have one extra hole due to no SB disconnect).
My concern is that I don’t think the factory switches are ON/OFF. They are momentary type switches. e.g. just send a momentary pulse to the computer when you press them - which determines if a device needs to switch on or off depending on it’s current state.
So the trick would be to find an aftermarket on/off switch that can fit in the hole and be covered with the factory rubber switch panel cover.
True dat but to add yet another layer of complexity….they are surface mounted to a PCB.If they are only momentary switches you can make a latching relay setup.
