AUXILIARY SWITCHES

9/18/2018

 

The following information supplements your Owner’s Manual.

The auxiliary switchboard on the overhead console makes aftermarket customization easier with six prewired switches connected to the power distribution box. Each circuit is individually fused for connection of electrical accessories.

The switches are labeled AUX 1 through AUX 6. They only operate when the ignition is in the on position, whether the engine is running or not. We recommend that you leave the engine running to maintain battery charge when using the switches for an extended time or when using higher current draw accessories. When a switch is turned on, the indicator light on the switch illuminates and the circuit provides power to the device wired to that switch.

There are three sets of blunt-cut and sealed circuits. Two sets are under the hood, and one set is inside your vehicle.

The powered set (A) is taped on a wire harness bundle to the right of the power distribution box.

The second set (B) is also under the hood. It is taped to the harness under the right side powertrain control module connector. This set routes to the interior passenger footwell.

The third interior set (C) is taped on a wire harness by the passenger side footwell. This set is the other end of the circuits taped under the hood at the powertrain control module connector.

Remove the fuse panel access door in the kick panel to access the wires. If you do not see them, you may need to pull them down.

See the Fuses chapter of your Owner’s Manual for information on fuse and relay locations. See your authorized dealer for service.

 

 

The relays are coded as follows:

Power Distribution Box	Wire Color	Under- hood Pass Through	Wire Color	Passenger Footwell	Wire Size	Fuse
AUX 1	Green/White	AUX 1	Green/White	AUX 1	1.0 mm²	15A
AUX 2	Brown/Blue	AUX 2	Brown/Blue	AUX 2	1.0 mm²	15A
AUX 3	Gray/Yellow	AUX 3	Gray/Yellow	AUX 3	0.50 mm²	10A
AUX 4	Yellow/Green	AUX 4	Yellow/Green	AUX 4	0.50 mm²	10A
AUX 5	Brown/White	AUX 5	Brown/White	AUX 5	0.35 mm²	5A
AUX 6	Green/Orange	AUX 6	Green/Orange	AUX 6	0.35 mm²	5A
