So there are six included/available factory installed auxiliary switches (depending on the model you are getting) for the new Broncos. I for one will probably not be mounting six switches worth of aftermarket lighting to my Bronco. So I am looking for other ideas for how to put these switches to use.

I have heard a few ideas already, such as running a mini fridge or winches. What are some other good uses for these switches?

Or what about less practical, but nonetheless amusing uses for them? I was thinking about labeling one of the buttons “DO NOT TOUCH!” and also rigging it to spray water in the passenger’s face if they flip it.

So let’s hear everybody’s ideas!!

I read it somewhere that each Aux switch has a certain fuse rating. I'll try and find it. But if I do get the BD with the Aux switches, I'll have something like the below:
1. Front bumper lights.
2. Rear rack or bumper lights.
3. Side lights.
4. Compressor.
5. Thinking of putting a wireless charging pad somewhere in the centre console. So maybe that.

Do they stay powered when the ignition is off, I could see wanting both scenarios?

Can you rig one so the vehicle can’t be started? Thinking mad max fury road lol
On Jeeps you can do either through the menu. Plus they can be momentary or latching. Hopefully it's the same.

I'll run one as a kill switch to the 12v auxiliary in the 7pin trailer wiring.

Maybe a single spot light somewhere.

Not likely much else.
