This thread is for those of you wondering how to connect your auxiliary lights to the pre-run wiring locations and auxiliary switch bank on your 2021 Ford Bronco! The aux switch bank is standard on Wildtrak, First Edition, Badlands, and Black Diamond Broncos and an option on Base, Big Bend, and Outer Banks.
Ford did an awesome job putting several "Accessory Ready” mounting locations all around the Bronco, and below is a writeup on how to connect to your aux switch bank using the Diode Dynamics OEM Auxiliary Switch Harness. I hope you find it helpful!
- Locating the Pre-Run Factory Wiring (0:28)
If you go to the owner's manual in the features tab of your head unit, you'll see that Ford has provided a full wiring diagram showing the exact locations of all the wiring for our auxiliary switches.
We love the fact that Ford has gone the extra mile to route the wiring to different “Accessory Ready” mounting locations around the Bronco including the grille, the fenders, and the rear quarter panel.
- Identifying Wire Colors & Amperages (0:49)
In the owner’s manual, you will also find a table listing each aux switch and its corresponding wire color and current draw rating. Be sure to check the amp draw on your auxiliary lighting to ensure the switch is rated appropriately for the light.
- Connecting Auxiliary Switch Harness (1:01)
Using the Diode Dynamics OEM Auxiliary Switch Harness, connect to your power wire. Using wire strippers, remove enough insulation to make a good connection. Insert the wire into the butt connector and crimp it to secure the connection.
Then you’ll want to locate a factory grounding point for the black wire.
- Routing the Harness (1:36)
Route the harness to your auxiliary lights and test to complete the installation.
As you can see our OEM Auxiliary Switch Harness makes it super simple to install auxiliary lights using the factory accessory-ready mounting locations on the Bronco.

My orange with an orange stripe behind the glove box is playing hide and seek. Can anyone tell me where it likes to hide?

Yeah - it’s tricky to spot them and they are camouflaged well.
It is taped to the wire harness/loom that is down low against the bottom of where the glove box attaches. It is bundled with the white wire and each of the ends are covered in a black protective plastic - so you will be looking for 2 wires together. Good luck.

I have found all the glove box wires except the white with orange stripe.

Post a wide angle pic of the entire area behind the glove box & I can point out where it should be…

I finally found it tucked up tight behind the plastic the door hides when closed.
