Can anyone inform me of the Auxiliary Switch Amps in a 2024 Heritage Edition? I have seen numbers all over the place. The in dash owners manual gives no info. Have seen charts for earlier year models from 5A up to 30A on switch 1. Just saw a piece that stated 40A on 5 and 6. Confused.
I am installing a 30 inch light bar on roof rack and want to wire through the A pillar.
Thanks for any insight.

See @Bluestreak57 for wiring, I used the exact same thing when I was doing mine. As another recommendation, find a method to keep the factory relay for your wiring harness on the light kit. I already ran into a couple of issues with not having high enough amps on the factory upfitters that resulted in several blown fuses. What are you running as a light bar? Amperage requirements, etc....? Depending on what you are trying to do and the options on your specific light you may want to run a different set up.

Light bar pulls 90 watts, which if my math is correct at 12 volts, equals 7.5 amps.
I plan to use aux switch 4 or 5.
Does that work?

@Rhett yup, you're gtg. Depending on what you're trying to do you need to pay attention to those amperages I ran into some issue when setting up mine. I'm running some KC E4s and E3s and the amperage draw is insane for how small they are. Pay special attention if you have multiple modes on your lights or you'll end up with blown fuses like I did. If you're going to run anything higher than 30A you're gonna need those relays or a gang panel. Which if you're interested there's one from IAG that mounts to the A pillar grab handle.

I blew a fuse as well, not sure why. Oracle Fog lights on AUX #2. Though, I have my suspicions. I've had a lot of trouble with moisture in these lights. Moisture and electricity don't mix.

What's the specific model number? Unless you've got the specs at the ready?

@Polaris425 you definitely shouldn't have any issues running to AUX 2, that one is the 15A circuit. Are you running spade terminals to your connections to the upfitter harness? Or are you spliced directly in? Harness connections good to the diodes? Which fuse keeps popping? Realistically though if those lights are the only thing wired in there should be no issues and even then, the rating on the diode housing is showing as IP68 so you should not have any intrusion under normal driving conditions. If you're getting moisture in the housing it is likely causing a short and your fuses are doing their job. I'd hit up Oracle and see if their warranty holds good if you haven't had them for long.

Let me know if I hit the nail on the head if our suspicions are the same.

Yeah I think the issue is with the lights themselves. I've had them a year and already had one harness replaced. It was a pain in the arse, but they at least did send me a replacement. I can't imagine trying to send them back and get a refund or full replacement.
