Does anyone know how to make some Auxiliary switches to work full time? I have some flashing lights and a couple flood lights I would like to work without the Bronco on.
Thank you…

Wire a switch straight to the battery?
I think I remember someone around here doing that with the OEM Upfitter switches, and it took some wiring harness re-jiggering. It would have been 25x easier to just use a non-upfitter switch and go straight to the battery (knowing you will kill your battery one day and we will all laugh at you and say we told you so), or play it safer and go to an auxillary power point (either straight or via a switch/relay) (the 12V power points have a Forscan-adjustable timeout and low battery protection)
