Wiring colors and locations for the Aux switches?

[Glen24]

Where in the owners manual do I find the wiring colors and locations for the Aux switchs. I only have the manual that loads from in the car.... just cant find what I need

Searchable online version. There are other model years too if you want to make sure you are getting all the correct info, I just have this one bookmarked.

Switch wiring should all be the same though

You can't find this stuff in the 2024 version - at least not by searching for it, or under auxiliary switches - it's impossible to find.

Thank you! I think the fuse values are higher, from what I could fin in the online user manual using the VIN. I could put in a radio with up to 20A draw...
This helps a ton.

Invaluable! I believe fuse values are now 20A (at least a few are) which I found in th eonly owners guide...I appreciate this!

@fordmotorcompany da fuq is this shit?

Thank God for amperage notes. Ya'll run out of yellow wire on this production run?

That's the 3-tone wiring option, supposed to be an upcharge over the standard 2-tone.

Thank you for all the helpful comments.
Does anyone know if there is an individual wire coming out of the steering column for the horn? In the old days, this wire connected a ground to the horn relay to close it. I have a horse whinny horn to add on...would like to use a relay so I could switch to either horn...

None of the fuses are 20A. They're 30,15,10,10,10,10,10.

What source leads you to believe that fuse values are now 20A?

I am a new Bronco owner and have a dumb question- is there a way to choose what Aux switch you are using with different functions?
I am looking to install the Diode Dynamics Stage Series Reverse light kit. The DD instructions say to connect the white wire to the Green/Brown aux wire under the hood. According to the Ford pdf this will correspond with Aux switch #2. If wanted to use Aux switch #6 instead, would it be as simple as connecting the white wire to the Yellow/Orange wire instead? Would that present any other issues with amperage, or anything else that I am not thinking of?
If not, are all of the different color wires in the same location, and I can choose what wire to connect in order to get the Aux switch I want?

Any help is appreciated!

I’m not an expert on the upfitter switches, but as far as I know, all of the upfitter wire leads under hood should be in same location. Only difference in the switches are amperage. Double check your year with what each switch is rated at, (ratings have changed over the years)make sure whatever switch you’re connecting to is sufficient for the accessory you’re adding. But to answer your question, you can connect to any of them as long as the power rating checks out. You just don’t want to be drawing too much power from whatever the specific switch is rated for. Aux 2 used to be rated at 15a fuse, depending on model year it may be different, need to refer to your lights at what power they are pulling.

Answers in order asked:
Yes
Yes
Possibly, you need to be aware of the amperage limits on the various switches - see the chart in Post #5 by @helifino16 -- your load/mod/part needs to be less than the fuse rating by some margin
Yes, and yes.

I cheated, I looked on Diode Dynamics web site for the specifications for the reverse lights.

None of their kits draw more than 25.6 watts, which is 2 amps. You can connect them to any switch. I'd suggest 3-6, save 1 & 2 for something that draws more current.
