Uplifter switches no power

[Drunknbroke11]

I first connected to the violet/green wire by master cylinder which is switch #3. No power when turned on with engine on. Then I connected to brown wire which is switch #4 with no luck either. I also have raptor grill lights piggy backed on fuse for switch #4 and they turn on and off. So I’m figuring there is an issue from load side of fuses to end of wires???

This may help track down the issue... See post #11 wiring diagram and comments from @flip

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

The first and only thing I wire it up I decided to put on number three. It's violet with N.... Looking under the hood, there are 2 violets and the gray/green were close enough in color it was hard to tell.

But maybe it is something else because it doesn't sound like it's the fuses because those are individual.

Update: I decided to check for loose nuts and bolts on fuse box. Found that all three bolts center of fuse box were loose by one and half to two turns. Checked for power at wires and they read hot. Issue fixed, but what a mystery since none of the other fuses were affected in fuse box. Scratching my head on this one.

Seating all my fuses, and tightening all those bolts or on my pickup checklist.

I actually ended up having to do 3 rounds of tightening on those 3 bolts over time. I wanted to go easy because they thread into plastic, but I'd snug them up, go back a couple weeks later and they were loose again....after about the 3rd time, they staid snug and I paint marked them.

I think it just took several heat cycles to get everything seated fully.
