WHAT ARE THE AUXILIARY
SWITCHES
The auxiliary switchboard on the overhead
console makes aftermarket customization
easier with six prewired switches
connected to the power distribution box.
Each circuit is individually fused for
connection of electrical accessories.
LOCATING THE AUXILIARY
SWITCHES
The auxiliary switchboard on the overhead
console makes aftermarket customization
easier with six prewired switches
connected to the power distribution box.
The circuits are individually fused for
connection of electrical accessories.
The switches have labels for AUX 1 through
AUX 6. They only operate when the ignition
is in the on position, whether the engine is
running or not. We recommend that you
leave the engine running to maintain
battery charge when using the switches
for an extended time or when using higher
current draw accessories. When you turn
on a switch, the indicator light on the
switch illuminates and the circuit provides
power to the device wired to that switch.
Note:
AUX switch 1 operates the off-road
lamps when your vehicle comes with this
option. LOCATING THE AUXILIARY

The second set (B) is also under the hood.
It is taped behind the battery tray and has
a white spot tape mark. This set routes to
the interior passenger footwell.
