Upfitter controls
The auxiliary switch board on the
center console makes aftermarket
customization easier, with four
prewired switches attached to the
power distribution box for electrical
accessories.
These switches are labeled AUX 1,
AUX 2, AUX 3 and AUX 4. They will
only operate while the ignition is in the on position, whether the engine
is running or not. It is, however, recommended that the engine remain
running to maintain battery charge when using the switches for extended
duration or higher current draws. When switched on by the operator
they provide 10 amps, 15 amps or 30 amps of electrical battery power
for a variety of uses.
The switches control relays and fuses that are located under the hood in
the auxiliary power distribution box. Refer to the
Roadside Emergencies
chapter of your Owner’s Guide for information on fuse and relay
locations. See your authorized dealer for service.
There will also be one power lead for each switch found as a blunt-cut
and sealed wire located to the right of the glove box door and just above
the passenger side kick panel.
Additional pass through circuits that run through the dash panel to
under the hood are located in the same location.
The relays are coded as follows:

FRONT OFF-ROAD CAMERA SYSTEM (IF EQUIPPED)
The front view camera is designed to be used as an aid in off-road
conditions, such as rock-climbing, slow-speed maneuvering, and cresting
hills when the front view may otherwise be obstructed through the
windshield. This feature adds front imaging off-road assistance to the
driver at vehicle speeds less than 15 mph (25 km/h).
