Uplifter switches no power

[Drunknbroke11]

So I’m not getting power to auxiliary wires. Auxiliary switches do change color when toggled. Fuses are good and there is power to fuses. Any ideas on why there is no power to wires?

Just to be clear, once you attach the wires in the bundle near fuses, you are not getting power at the other end?

If absolutely no wires are getting power, then its not an individual wire issue or a switch issue. It is pointing to the fuse box. I would remove the box and make sure harness is connected ok from and to the fuse box.

Side note, the aux wires only provide power. Make sure you are connecting to a proper ground on the body of the vehicle to close the circuit and power your accessory.

If the lights come on there is power to the switch. Did you check all of the aux wires w/ test meter w/ the switches on? Everything grounded properly?

Which Aux wires are you using? The wires behind the glovebox are not powered. The wires near the master cylinder are powered.

Correct

Properly grounded. Testing with a meter to wires near master cylinder no power. I will remove fuse box and check connection of harness next.

I do have the triple raptor lights piggybacked to fuse for swicth #5. They toggle off and on but still no power to wire end.

Is your "key" on? Upfitters are only powered with the key on.

Yes and even tried with engine on just in case.

Wrong wire. If the toggle switch lights up when you flip it then you are good to go. Chances are your tapped into the wrong wire in the engine compartment... Ask me how I know.

There are two groups of terminated wires right next to each other and with the same colors.

One set goes to the toggle switches and received power when they're turned on. The other set goes to the various positions in the Bronco and are dead wires because they're just leads.

Once I wired to the correct colored version, my stuff worked.

My pass through wires are not the same color as my powered wires. I have the same color coding as diagram above.

So which wires exactly are you wired too and which wires exactly did you connect? Pictures at each junction or a good description would help. It’s hard to guess without a lot of details.
