OEM auxiliary push buttons

I bought and installed the panel, but I can't find the location in the engine bay for the plug ins. I have a 2012 RAM 1500 sport. Can someone tell me where to find them please.

Just did mine last week. There is not already a place to plug it in. Did you get the pigtail wiring to go along with the switch panel?

No I did not. I was told that it was wired for the panel already, with the plug that was plugged into the blank panel before I put the switches in.

You already had a plug there? And it fit your new switch panel? I had to buy a plug and terminals and make a little harness that I ran into the engine compartment. I thought that is what everyone had to do on a 1500.

Yeah I had a plug there already that then runs into a bigger wiring harnesses in the dash.

Now that I think of it, I had a plug as well. But I never did bother to see where it went.

Make sure that the connector you think is for the auxiliary switch is not the one for the heated seats I know that some people have used it and it didn't work. Because I have heard of them leaving the heated seat plug behind the blank plate.

 

[Coop23]

You were right it was for headed seats. Does anyone know where I can get the pigtail wiring?

Dealer will be able to get it for you. The part number is in the first post.

It takes a little more than that on the '13 and newer trucks because of all the different options controlled by the same panel. I spent two hours with the parts guy at my local dealer just to find one with the same buttons. Also all convenience controls (heated seats, cooled seats, heated steering wheel) automatically move up to your touchscreen. If you don't have the upgraded radio/climate/audio screen and you have the heated/cooled seats and heated steering wheel it won't work. There is no way to control them and it will throw codes.

If doing the install on a 1500 you also need to find the correct Tyco insert terminals for the factory plug. I'm about two weeks into this on my '15 and it is a royal PITA. May just buy an aftermarket switch kit.

Keep at it man and take pictures before/after for a write up.

Hello fellas

I wanted to post my experience with the AUX switches that I installed on my 2012 ram 2500.

So to start out I did not do my research well I looked up and found that mopar made an aux switch panel. I saw it and said that was perfectf or the clean factory look I wanted .

So after ordering the panel and my lights I realized that I had no idea what I was doing. No matter what I did the panel wouldn't work .This is where I found this thread and MYoung's post and pictures. I read it and felt like I was a pig looking at a wristwatch. I had no idea what it meant. I read it for several days over and over till I thoughti had it figured out . I did not know relays were required nor did I know that I would have to purchase some to make this setup work. So just to make sure everyone is clear you need the switch panel, wiring, and relays or relay box to make this work, at least in my case .

So after getting everythingt together I pulled the dash apart again and ran the 12v keyed power source from the fuse box (m6) and my wires for my lights. I then did a dry run and hooked all the wires up as depicted in the first post. It didn't work so I switched everything around in regards to what wires I was using on the panel and it worked.

I then attatched the relays to the inside of the dash where there is the void under the radio and proceeded to hardwire everything together. Tested it one last time and then put the dash back together .

I'm super happy with the results and I hope this post helps others that are as dense as myself when it comes to wiring.

That looks pretty good. I just made a little harness before I installed mine. I made it so the little connector that goes to the switch panel had 1 foot of wire to tap into the power for the key on power port, 2 feet of wire to run to a ground in the left kick panel and about 6 feet of wire, all different colors, that I ran through the firewall. I used two of the wires to got to relays that are mounted on the cowl for lights I have on the front. The others two are bundled up so they are easily accessible and are waiting to go to my lights on the back. Keeps the relay were you can get to them if you need to and limits the amount of extra wiring inside.

I love this mod. I use 2 of them right now. Adding a 3rd to it soon to control more lights.

I have my amp and my LED bar on it.
