Aux Switch control

[RR2025MA]

I installed accessary light using one of the aux wires for 2025 Ranger Raptor. The light comes on when the car turns on. Aux switch inside does not do anything. Am I missing something?

Which wiring harness did you connect the light too? What were the wiring colours?

Take photos of your connections and lights - it’s a bit hard to know what’s going on without more information

I connected to Aux 1 and Aux 2. they behave the same. when the car is on, light is on, when the car is off the light is off. Aux switch in the car does not do anything.

So, when the truck is on the switch does not energize and energize the light?

It does power the light. However, Aux switch does not turn on or off the light regardless of the car being on or off.

OP - Sounds like your wires are swapped somewhere. You'll need to test the connections with a multimeter. Might want to start with a 3rd aux circuit as a reference, like the bed, to see if it works as intended, then go from there.

Check this thread for a wiring diagram.

I’m considering wiring in raptor lights to aux 1 on a 2025 Ranger Raptor. I know the power supply is violet and green. Is there a corresponding ground wire color to be used?

Not with 1. Ground to frame.

Whichever wire you are using sounds like it is permanently energized, not one of the outputs from the AUX switch box. We need to a see a photo of which wire you are using to energize the LED.

What I did to simplify this process was wire all the underhood outputs ( 4 AUX wires, ground, plus a DRL tap) into a single DT6 Connector.

This way I can add\subtract LED circuits using Y-splitters without having to rewire\solder\crimp

If you then use DT-4 Connectors for the splitters you can run two circuits plus a backlight, or three independent circuits with no backlight to each Light location on one 4C cable. This saves a ton of cabling and allows you to power your various lights independently if you have different colours\lenses or amperage demands for each circuit.

Im running the following circuits with diode dynamics pods on a single 4C cable and 2 Y-splitters

2 x SC3 Driving (hood)
2 x SC1 Fogs (OEM location)
2 x C2 2.0 spot (intercooler vent)
2 x C2 2.0 combo (intercooler vent)

all with DRL backlights

theres 3 blunt cut wires under the bcm. a marker light, highbeam, and ignition run/start wire. behind the kick panel

Hi, I am interested in your approach to wiring everything and I think I get it, but not exactly sure on some of the components. So it seems like you were able to get all of the leads at A and B (plus the b/y ground and DRL tap) into one DT6 like this style? https://www.amazon.com/JRready-Waterproof-Automotive-Electrical-Connectors/dp/B0B124YC4R

I guess the part I'm missing is what are you doing between the female DT 6 connector you just made and the 4C cables you are running to each area you want to add lights?

Ill try and take a video for you here soon, super busy with work at the moment

Thanks, appreciate anything whenever you get around to it. Love the concept of doing plugs instead of taps and butt splice rats nest.
