Adding Factory Aux switches?

[deeve]

I was mistaken. I thought it was correct but I was not. That swith with the clock is for HDC.

I don't have it on one so didn't know. Can you tell what that button is for in the picture? Looks like it has an arrow pointing to a gauge, which is why I thought it was starti/stop

Which is also why I stated it was hill descent (HDC). Must be something related to year/trim and it would appear it's only for a 1500.

I can say with certainty that NONE of the 4WD 19+ HD trucks have that HDC button in the center stack as they are all on the 4x4 panel, whether dash knob trans shifter or column shifter.

FWIW, I tried adding HDC to my truck and it's not working due to 3500+air (no off road package). The BCM/EVIC know it's there, it's been pressed, but the PCM isn't cooperating on supporting it with my platform type and shows it's "disabled." on the EVIX when I try to use it. Just like the 19-20 DT can't do the Upfitter because the BCM doesn't support it.

Regardless, it's not what the OP is looking for and is a red herring as it relates to this thread.

That's the old PN I posted earlier - that most have found impossible to get.

For the Upfitter switch bank, it doesn't matter if it's a HD part as long as the top row buttons are correct. All the info is in the thread I linked.

68476024AB or 68376640AE is the TH, Traction, Park, Park, switch panel (gloss)

ALL the part numbers for ALL the switch combos in glossy and matte finish are in one of @Jimmy07 's posts on HDRAMS.COM

DIY: Add Aux Switches to 19+ Ram 2500 Laramie 6.7L

There are quite a few threads about Adding Aux switches and AlfaOBD to our trucks out there. I did hours of reading them and watching numerous videos on it as well as messages back and forth to get this installed on my truck. I wanted to make a DIY for someone else that wants to do it and keep...

An Aux PDC and wiring has to be added regardless and unless one was lucky enough to get ahold of the factory upfitter kit, that's going to be aftermarket or built using OEM parts in the very last thread I linked below.



It's been done. 2021+ DT BCM will support it. Again, the info is in the thread I linked earlier. Start reading about half way through.

Aftermarket is always an option, some folks just prefer a factory look and are willing to put in the effort.

There's a great writeup on HDRAMS that details everything needed. I'm to understand this only works on 2021+ DT and (all) 19+ HD trucks.

So, theoretically, I can use an aux switch panel from an HD Truck, on my 1500? I have seen 1500s with switches before, and the panel looks identical, so I cant imagine why they would change the wiring and connector, all that would do is add cost to production.

Have you reviewed the thread here I linked earlier?

Part Number is part number. They are the same if the top row buttons are correct.

I'm still reading through it, but there is allot of conflicting information there and i'm still trying to deduce what right and wrong, but I appreciate you helping out with finding this info.
