Decided to take on a little project, and take advantage of the blank and unused space for the rear power slider. My plan is to more or less copy where ford puts their factory upfitter switches, I’m hoping to fit 6 small rocker switches while still leaving room for that little LED map light (which is really handy for grabbing stuff out of the center console in the dark). I lost some of my lights in a front end collision recently, but I currently have strobes in the grill, and strobes and cube lights in the backrack. In the future I want to add/add back a front light bar and/or fog lights, A-pillar mounted ditch lights, and flush mount reverse lights in the rear bumper. The strobes require 2 switches, one for power and one for pattern, hence the need for 6 total, but if I can only fit 5 that’s ok too.
Currently I have a kind of hacked together bunch of switches in the dash center stack which I want to get rid of, and a 6 gang fuse box under the dash in the drivers footwell area. Fortunately I have a new center stack from a parts truck so I don’t have to worry about filling those holes, I’ll just need to extend the wiring through the dash and up the A pillar.
Switches are arriving tomorrow, then the fun begins!
