Overview of Ford's Enhanced Unfitter Switchboard
If you own a Ford vehicle in Corpus Christi, Portland, Robstown, or any of the surrounding areas, there's a robust feature you might not realize you have. Many Ford models come standard with an enhanced Unfitter Switchboard that significantly simplifies managing your Upfitter Interface (UPI) components. In this article, we'll teach you how this sophisticated system could help power your electronic auxiliary devices, making your Ford driving experience much more convenient.
Features of Ford's Enhanced Unfitter Switchboard
Your Ford vehicle may be equipped with this state-of-the-art unfitter switchboard as an in-built feature. Comfortably located on the overhead console for easy accessibility. This new layout design has proven to be far more user-friendly, unlike the former version, which was situated elsewhere in the cabin.
What differentiate these new switchboards from the old ones is that they now come with six switches instead of four. A 50% increase that gives you even more power control options for your auxiliary components such as winches, electric spreaders, lights, and more.
On the matter of power, Ford has outdone itself. It has improved the circuit capacity of the latest unfitter switchboard over the previous generation. You now have at your disposal; four circuits of 25 amps and an additional two circuits with 40 amps. Each of these circuits can be tailored to remain on persistently, even when the vehicle is turned off, assuring you constant power supply.
For those curious about activating your 40 amp relays to run off battery even when the key is out of the switch, the process is quite simple. We'll walk you through it in the next section.
