UPFITTER CONTROLS (IF EQUIPPED)
Your vehicle may be equipped with
the Upfitter option package which
will provide four switches, mounted
in the center of the instrument
panel, labeled AUX 1, AUX 2, AUX 3
and AUX 4. These switches will only
operate while the ignition is in the 4
(ON) position, whether the engine
is running or not. It is, however, recommended that the engine remain
running to maintain battery charge when using the Upfitter switches for
extended duration or higher current draws. (This is even more important
for vehicles with diesel engines since the glow plugs are also draining
battery power when the ignition key is in the 4 [ON] position.)
When switched on by the operator they provide 10 amps or 30 amps of
electrical battery power for a variety of personal or commercial uses.
If your vehicle is equipped with this
option, there will also be a relay box
with a fuse located inside the glove
box.

The relays and fuse in the glove box are coded as shown in the
accompanying illustration.
There will also be one power lead
for each switch found as a blunt-cut
and sealed wire located behind the
passenger compartment fuse panel.
They are coded as follows:

Light Green
Trace30A
AUX 2 1933 Orange 30A
AUX 3 1934 Orange with

Power distribution box
The power distribution box is located in the engine compartment. The
power distribution box contains high-current fuses that protect your
vehicle’s main electrical systems from overloads.
Always disconnect the battery before servicing high current
fuses.
To reduce risk of electrical shock, always replace the cover to
the Power Distribution Box before reconnecting the battery or
refilling fluid reservoirs.
If the battery has been disconnected and reconnected, refer to the
Batterysection of theMaintenance and Specificationschapter.
