On the SuperDuty, switches 1-4 are 25A and 5-6 are 40A. 5-6 are selectable between always on and ignition switched power. I'd imagine the Bronco would be similar.
Thanks for sharing, has Ford or BN provided any information on how the Bronco Aux switches work?

For those of us without the mid package would these would work well for toggling aftermarket inverters with 120V plugs off and on?

If you dont get the switches can you still operate the relays with soft buttons on the touch screen? That would be nice!

Don't think so. You'd most likely have to install a hard switch somewhere.

Even Doc's DeLorean had manual switches.

I'll probably just add the same after market accessories that I installed in my Jeep - wonder if there is a way to identify the switch so I don't accidentally launch a rocket.

Dash cam.
Roof mounted drone deployment.
Selfie light rig.
Twitch stream deck.
Interior RGB lighting.
You could use the last switch to change the color of the interior lighting.

Would these aux switches work for fire fighter lights and siren/airhorn? Asking for a friend.
Yes. Just have to wire in the module to have a flash pattern. Look on Amazon, kinda scary how inexpensive police/fire lights are.

I have done things with flashing lights on an ATV for Christmas parades. ?

I have them on my 08 F350. Had all kinds of ideas for them.
  • I have yet to see a way to re-label them to something cool like oil slick, nails, SCRAM etc
  • On my truck the wires are fused differently, and the wires are sized differently
  • Technically wires should be fused at the supply to protect the wire and fused at the device to protect the device (This is what we do in marine electronics anyway.
  • The items I have thought about adding never work, because they have their own switch. The plow had an automatic relay system. Seat heaters have multiple positions. Amplifier switches usually include a level knob. etc
If I got it I'd hook up backup floods maybe . . .

Here is the info on my truck for reference. Hopefully the now they offer more customization via programming.

1. Arming for hitch-mounted jet engine.
2. Ground-penetrating radar and metal detector for prospecting, displayed on information console.
3. Dramatic chariot spikes.
4. Retractable steps (for tripping people).
5. Dramatic fog machine and rave lights.
6. Cake dispenser, no lie.
Fog machine . . . . . . . Hmmmmmm

Auxiliary lighting and a airhorn, I'm sure something else will come up.

LOL I had most of the same switches in my 78 C10.
I had one that said "Burn, ya Bastard!". Used it to wire in the seat heaters from the BMW buckets I robbed from Pull-A-Part.
Sasquatch lights is a must. Seriously.
I never saw the Rocket one, Or I definitely would have used it too.
Funny stuff.
