Not having the wiring diagrams, I would only venture a guess that 5 Amps sounds pretty light for a plow.I’ve had nothing but a headache putting these AUX Switches in my 21 - 1500.
NOW, I keep blowing the 5 AMP fuse in the relay box when I turn my plow on (AUX Switch 1).
Does anyone know WTF this is all about?
Ty!!

I put a 10AMP in last night, seems to be working just don’t know IF that’s a good idea?Not having the wiring diagrams, I would only venture a guess that 5 Amps sounds pretty light for a plow.
What is the continuous current draw of the plow function for that switch?Good Morning,
So, Although I swapped the 5AMP fuse to 10AMP it already blew.
NOW I'm up to a 20AMP fuse (in the relay box), all seems to be good BUTTTT Is there anything that I need to change (in the relay box or truck) so that I don't fry something up?
Ty!!
I have this one…
I changed the 5AMP fuse to 10AMP, probably not the best solution but seems to be working.

What he said. Most plows have a separate heavy feed direct from battery for the main pump motor, and the control wiring only operates relays and solenoids. So what did you connect where, and how does that compare with the way the plow's maker said to hook it up?What are you trying to power with it? (does your plow have a manual which says how much current draw is expected?)
Wow that’s so nice of you, just can’t thank you enough!!So based on the photos, I looked your plow up on the internet and downloaded the installation manual. They show a 15A fuse for ignition switched control power feed, which I'm betting is the one we've been talking about. So put in a 15A fuse and see how that works for you.
If they haven’t shown by now, it’s safe to say that the 2022 UC5 non nav radios aren’t capable of displaying the aux switches. There’s really nothing else you can do except program them how you want with AlfaOBD.Good Morning Fellas,
My plow seems to be working great now, can't thank you fellas enough.
BTW, I'd love to buy you guys Lunch somehow
I promise, my last question..... lol!
So, Its apparent that I have a 2022 1500 Big Horn with a UC5 8.4 radio. The AUX Switches turn on and off BUT I still can't figure out how to get them to appear on the Radio screen OR MAYBE even the Spedo Screen section? I understand that I can program them in the alphaOBD software but would really like to have them appear somewhere after spending all this money if its possible.
Here are the settings that I've tried:
-CBC Features: Configuration Aux Switches PTO-SIX SWITCHES
-Lin & Misc: ASBM Present- YES
-Auxiliary Switches: CSM Present:
SWITCH 1-4 OPTION AND ALSO Tried the 3-6 option.
Anything else I can do?
