I just spent the day installing the Hanspilot switches, a Wolfbox review cam and rewiring my rear fogs. The switches took maybe 1.5 hrs to install but I only had to take the left side apart, the right column and airbag don't need to be removed. It look much worse than it is but I will say Ford came up with the crappiest design for the roll bar trim pieces. I know they can't "connect" because the airbag needs to blast through there bit there needs to be a more secure way to keep things tight. The relay box has a wire loom with 6 switch wires coming out of it. I used one to hook up to my existing rear fog wire but I plan on using the factory ran switch wires when possible going forward. No fuse box needed.
There are just 6 hot unterminated (but capped) wires, typically you ground close to where you are installing. My 2025 OBX has the wires run throughout the truck and they all end near the drivers firewall (where you used to find a brake booster on older vehicles). I just have no switches and the harness in the windshield frame is different. No idea why Ford changed that harness but left the other main one alone (maybe having to do with it being a much bigger harness so it would make sense to just have 1 skew). Honestly they should all just come prewired fully or just come with the switches.
I just used the red wire and tapped the engine compartment fuse box- I didn't use the orange extension wire to tap the inside box. I have no idea why they give you both since you can only use one, and the instructions are abysmal.
Is your set up always on? I used the engine bay fuse 139 and the switches always work. I assumed they would not have power with the engine off.
No, my ignition needs to be on for the switches to work.
Yes nvm. They just stay on for maybe 15 min after it's off. So that's probably best case.
