Looking for Guidance on Adding Aux Switches – 2020 Ram 1500 Classic Warlock

[xxbryantd]

Hey everyone, I’m new to the forum and looking for some help.


I’ve got a 2020 Ram 1500 Classic Warlock and I want to add auxiliary switches to run some accessories. I’ve seen posts about the Mopar outfitter/aux switch kits, but I’m not sure which parts I should be looking for or what’s actually compatible with my truck.


A couple of questions I’m hoping to get cleared up:

• What’s the right kit or part number for my model year?
• Do I also need the jumper wires or a special harness I’ve seen mentioned?
• Is there an OEM option that keeps the dash looking stock, or should I be looking at aftermarket alternatives?
• Any programming (dealer or AlfaOBD) required to get the switches working?

If anyone’s done this on a 2019–2020 Classic, I’d love to hear what worked for you and where you sourced your parts. Trying to keep it clean and OEM-looking if possible.


Thanks in advance!

What kind and how many accessories? Also, does your truck have the 3 button Homelink usually used for garage doors?
The reason I ask is because I bought 2 remote fob receivers from Amazon and trained the Homelink buttons to control the FOB receivers. I use the buttons to turn on and off my aux fuel tank transfer pump.

Welcome to the forum! For your 2020 Ram 1500 Classic Warlock, the cleanest way to get OEM-style aux switches is definitely through the Mopar Off-Road/Auxiliary Switch Kit. For your truck, the kit part number is usually 82215082AB for the 4-switch panel, though double-check with your dealer—they’ll confirm compatibility with the Classic vs. the newer Ram 1500s.
You’ll also need the harness/jumper wires (often included in the full kit, sometimes sold separately as part #82214982AB) to actually get the switches powered and connected to the fuse box. The panel installs in the dash where the blank inserts are, so it keeps that OEM clean look.
Programming-wise, the truck usually doesn’t need dealer programming for the switches themselves—they’re hard-wired to switched 12V circuits. If you want them to trigger certain factory modules (rare), then something like AlfaOBD might be useful, but for powering lights, compressors, etc., it’s plug-and-play.
If you go aftermarket, there are a few brands that make dash-mounted panels that look OEM, but I’d stick with Mopar if you want the clean Warlock look.

Where is the best place to buy the kit or parts separately? Im having issues trying to locate.

I'm running a knock off auxbeam and I designed and 3d printed a bracket that replaces the trailer brake controller blank with the 6 button switch. Wires run through the bracket and are all hidden up under the dash and behind the radio. You have to pull the radio bezel off, remove the button panel and remove the trailer brake controller blank then bolt it all back together, then you can pass the wire through the blank opening, then connect to the switch panel and install it from the front side. It should snap right in.

Auxbeam offers a few options. I just grabbed a 6 gang slim for a upcoming light project. Installing switch panel this weekend.
