Flip from the drawing do you think the sunglasses compartment pulls out from the main framing to insert the Aux switch or looking like a complete swap out in order to switch out. I am going to try pull in out but not wanting to break anything quite yet but really want to know if the harness is up there to plug and play those switches for those who did not have it with purchase.
I tried pulling mine this morning before work and wussed out. Didn't have the manual to see if there were screws holding instead of just clips. Will need to compare the two before making any type of educated guess.
I still want to still get it but waiting to see if @flip wants to do it first. Lol. Seems like a bit of a project to get that console down. Plus need to get parts and not sure when our Ford dealer can get them.
Flip did you by chance have any progress on this project? So the drawing shows we have to drop the complete overhead to take those screws out.I tried pulling mine this morning before work and wussed out.

ETA: Whole top panel needs to come down before the guts can be removed.
I’m really not interested in doing this mainly because I have nothing to do it on or spare time. The question was if it was possible, I just provided the theoretical possibility and info from the wiring and shop manuals. Maybe down the road when we have some stock units to experiment on but really hate to think about doing on a ordered unit without the owners understanding it may not work.
Because we missed it when going through the options and our sales person was of no help. I am sure most folks just overlooked it (as I did) I doubt $195.00 was a deterrent.
I was online a bit ago and the have the switches for $90. Village ford

understood I really want to do it but want to make sure I don’t break something in the process getting replaced out. The drawings have helped out a lot identifying things for sure many thanks. Thanks again Flip.
The accompanying part needed is the Overhead console panel in addition to the switches (https://www.oemfordpartsdirect.com/oem-parts/ford-console-assembly-overhead-m2dz78519a70jc)
Has anyone adding switches seen the plug going into the switch is up in the console for ones with the sunglass holder. All wiring is present throughout the truck so I am hopeful it is there and all we need is the switch and console piece?The accompanying part needed is the Overhead console panel in addition to the switches (https://www.oemfordpartsdirect.com/oem-parts/ford-console-assembly-overhead-m2dz78519a70jc)
Waiting for that same answer. If its ready for plug and play, then ill get the required parts, if not, then ill pass.
