Is Last State not saving also an issue with the HDs, just like the 1500’s? Just installed everything and everything works except Last State is not saving after leaving switches on.
Mine saves the last state 99% of the time

I just don’t get why the setting take when changed in the cluster and I’ve also changed them in AlfaOBD, but it just doesn’t take after cycling the ignition/starting the truck back up.

I think I have tracked down the part number for the switch panel I would need. I need to have the tow/haul, traction control, front park sensor and rear park sensor. Just like the image below. Have you tracked down the required terminals and relays?

Can you give me the part number for this switch panel please?

My button order in the stock assembly is swapped also, Jake brake and then tow haul. I haven’t installed yet I’ll let y’all know how it goes.

I have a 2021 ram 2500 diesel
, Looking to add the uplifter switches.

Does anyone make the harnesses needed? Or is there a factory part I can order? Just don't have time to make them.

I found the switches

Looks like the kit is for the base trucks. I assume you could use the fuse box from this kit and then order the correct auxiliary switch you need (except PW). The harness appears to be set up to go directly to the plug on in the center stack. I’ll dig into this more as time permits. I want to decode the different switches in the parts catalogs and trace some of the wiring diagrams.

I am curious how @uplander's install went. My Rebel HD (gas) was missing the PDC entirely. I have the PDC kit, correct switch panel, and accessory wire kit sitting in a shopping cart but would like some confirmation that someone else having to add everything got it working including being able to configure switches in the dash setup screen.

Ordering my Rebel HD with the winch, excluded me from getting the Aux switches. Why they were mutually exclusive options I do not know.

I'm in the same boat. Everything I can see says that should work fine, but I've been holding off because it's a pretty high cost.

I can't figure out why you can't have the winch and the aux switches. There was some theory around the same connectors in the harness being used, but the winch doesn't have any wiring that goes into the cab. It's entirely stand-alone.

I read through this and it seems to be a lot of harness and conenctors to be made. Is that the case with this kit I found?? Or is the 2023 2500 already setup for this?? It says Everything you need to install and all that is left is to activate the switches.

I assume that kit has everything many people need and is in my proverbial "cart". Although I have to also order a different switch panel as the kit included panel does not support all my factory options.

Do you have the Cummins already? If so no need to buy the PDC. Just buy the switchbank and wiring.

If you have the Cummins you don’t need the pdc. All you need is the switchbank and wiring.

@mjb765 Ahh ok. Biggest issue your Gona come across is finding the switchbank instock. Just about all the websites including the dealers say “instock” and when you order they email saying they are back order with no eta. I went through this a while back.

I ended up finding a used switchbank (looked brand new), see if you can get the PDC on eBay or similar and them wire everything up. Save you some money and time that way.

So I wil need all the wiring instructions in this thread?? Or is the kit enough and just power and ground? Is the dash harness already there and waiting to be plugged in or will I need to pin wires there as well?
