If anyone wants to add a confirm part number for the Aux Switches you can add it to
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets...1eg/edit#gid=0
In order to use the Google Doc, you would need to log in with a Gmail or Yahoo email account (at least that works for me), then you need to request access, then the request will come to me to approve your access.
Right Now i have a column for:
Interior Color: EX. Gray, Black
Part Number
Type of Console: Ex. W/ Motion Sensors, w/ Power Rear Sliding Window
Link to Photo of Product: can add a JPG link so ppl can see the photo of it
if yall, think we need more columns to make more notes, you can always add it to the Google Doc

I remember seeing a parts diagram with descriptions and part numbers on Ford parts website. I think I may have it saved on my laptop at home. Ill see if I can access when I get home. It had everything!

Correct, I think the only thing ignition would be tied to is the backlight on the switches. If you can find a 12v source that is on with ignition it can be hooked up as the alternate input.
I also found a way that any of the switches can be set to be master, by moving a jumper similar to the F-250, and any of the relays can be set independently to only care about the cab switch.
Right now my cost is a little high in my opinion, around $200 ea. for 4 circuit cards. I have to take a look at my parts list and see if I can change anything to a lower cost option.

I'm a bit confused by your "alternate input" remark. Are you saying, you would have a separate trigger wire for each relay in addition to the switch?

Also to let people know, the 1st two lines in the doc that is highlighted in yellow are just examples so people know how to fill out the sheet when they want to add a part number

I was trying to be non-technical in my description, so let me try both and see if that clears it up:
Technical: there are 3 inputs to turn on an output: Cab switch, auxiliary trigger (input) (optional), and master cab switch (optional). The master cab switch and auxiliary trigger operate in parallel, and then these operate in series with the cab switch. This circuit, when satisfied, operates the relay with provides power to the output.
Less-technical: there are 3 inputs to turn on an output: Cab switch, auxiliary trigger (input) (such as high beam, reverse, ignition etc.) (optional, can be enabled by user), and master cab switch (optional, can be enabled by user). An output will always require the cab switch to be operated, but the user can include, as an option, an additional trigger that will be needed to turn on the output. This additional trigger can be either a 12v input from another vehicle system, or an optional master cab switch.

My minimum order quantity is 4 boards, so it will be about $800 total, or $200 for each unit (at this point that's my estimation).

Would you be building them?
I saw something about backlight being ignition controlled - I would want that to be controlled by the lights, regardless of ignition status - just like all other switches in the truck.

I will be building them. I am not sure exactly how the switch module gets power for the illumination. It looks pin 12 on the connector controls it, and I need to see if the connector for the other console switches have a similar pin ID. I'm not sure if that is only the blue/off illumination, or the orange/on illumination too.

So what is the process people are using to search for consoles? Is it really just going to the dealership and asking the parts guy? Or is there an online way of doing it? And if so, what site? I have a VIN from a superduty that matches my F150, but I don't know where to go from there.
