    For you guys that ran a multi-function switch to your rear lights, how did you route your harness from the dash to the rear?

    Nevermind slackers.....I figured it out...Lol. Rigid called for power and ground to run through the firewall with the relay under the dash. I didn't really want to run the harness partially through the cab and then out through a body plug and and under the bed. That would be a fairly large hole to get the connectors through. I started at the rear and worked forward. I zip tied the harness to the main harness running from the bumper and followed it to the engine compartment, tying it about every 12 inches or so. The relay is in the engine bay and I will just extend the wires from the relay to the switch.

    Glad you figured it out. I have an auxiliary fuse and relay box under the hood and ran a group of switch trigger wires into the cab, thru the firewall. I installed a add a fuse tap on an ignition only fuse that feeds power to the switches, that way I cannot accidentally leave the lights on. The key has to be in and turned for the switches to have power to send to the relays.
