Aux panel

[kegger]

Hey guys. I put an aux panel from a 2500 into my truck. I've purchased a relay box that comes with a control panel but would like to use the factory switch panel if possible. I've already pinned the proper pins on the factory plug and run the wiring harness into the engine bay. Is this possible without rewiring the whole thing? I'd really like to not use the panel supplied with the replay box. It's similar to the 4th gen Ram electronics relay box. It is going into my 16 1500. Any help would be great! I do have Alfaobd so I can make any changes needed.

you can order the switch panel for the dash, you just need to find the correct part number for your truck. you should find the answer to this question here: https://www.ramforum.com/threads/diy-add-auxiliary-switches-to-a-2016-ram-2500-tradesman.96366/

The only issue I see with using the factory switch bank with a box like you got is, each factory Aux switch completes the circuit to ground, and the box and switch kit you got most likely is wired for the switch to complete circuit to power.

That's the forum I built my box from. Unfortunately I'm having issues with it. So I figured I'd buy a box and rewire it to work with the panel I put in the dash already.

That's what I was afraid of. Guess I'll keep messing around with the one I made and see if I can get it working properly. If I do get it working I can pull the other box off or just add it and have 11 aux spots for whatever I decide to add lol
