Looking For Options

[JHumphries]

I got lucky and snagged the signature truck about a week ago. With less then 7 days on the truck, I rolled over a fairly large branch while backing a trailer and damaged the bumper. :{
My local dealer has a chrome bumper with fog light cutouts, but the non fog-light bumper is at least a week away. If possible I would like to add the fog lights.
The dealer has done some research with wiring harnesses and such so on to the question:

I need the last 8 digits of the vin from a 2014, 2015 will probably work, with the following options: Diesel, (manual transmission preferred), 4 bulb headlights (not the projectors), the auxiliary upfitter switches, and of course fog lights.
This is what the upfitter switches look like. It would be better if the truck was an SLT, but Bighorn/Lonestar should work.

I have the factory fog lights and the switch is part of the headlight switch. you have to push it in to turn lights on or off.. Also mine stay in the on position thru an engine off / restart cycle.

The VIN request is because there are two different wiring harnesses one for fog lights and one for auxiliary switches. I'm trying to find out if the aux switch wiring harness has a connection for fog lights, so I need a VIN to check the part number for the harness.

The aux switches come with the wiring harnesses that plug into outlets under the hood. You can hook any kind of light to the harness. When you get a truck with the aux switches the rest of the wiring comes in a plastic bag either in the glove compartment or the center console. I have the aux switches and all the wiring came with the truck. If yours is missing the dealer should provide it.

I don't have the auxiliary switches. I would like them, if possible. The headlight harness has a different part number if the truck has the auxiliary switches.
If I have to replace the headlight harness to be able to add fog lights, and the Aux switch harness will connect to fog lights, I will get that harness. I just need part numbers to verify.

Aux switches are nearly impossible to add unless you wire them up your self and have means to update the software of the truck you are installing them in........this is where the real problem comes from.

Sent you a PM

2014 3500 4x4 Tradesman Crew- Ram Box SRW. Up fitter switches. No fog lights. Installed my own.

Thank you.
I managed to find a truck for sale with the switches and fog lights and used the VIN from it.

Did you do all of the install yourself? How difficult was it? How about dealer programming for the computers?

 

[DJAustin]

Very easy as the switches and associated relays and connectors were all factory installed. I just downloaded the upfitters guide.
