The diesel shouldn’t be any different. My diesel has the OEM from the factory. If it can have them, any JT should, I’d imagine.
That is what I am hoping. I ordered my 22 Gladiator last November before I started reading this forum. At the time I couldn't think of anything to use them for, so I left them out. Now I can think of a few things I would like to do and it would be nice to have the aux switches. Hindsight is always 20/20.
Thanks CerOf

Check if you have the output wires for the OE switches. Pop the hood and look next to the battery. There should be a bundle of wires (4 i think) that have shrink tube over the ends. If my memory serves me it was a fuzy cloth tape. It will be in some wire lume so you may have to look for a dead end bulge. Those are your AUX 12V+ outputs. There is also another set behind you glove box. If you see those then you should be able to buy the OE AUX switches and then have the dealer flash your computer to activate them or use a Tazer or similar to activate them.

The wire bundles for the AUX switches are not there unless the switches are factory installed. One of the reasons a dealer install of the AUX switches is expensive is having to run the inside wire bundle through the firewall. The dealer install also does not include the two inside hot wires that are included with the factory install.

Is it two hot or one hot and one aux switched? Can't remember right now from when I wired up my dash camera and CB.

It's one always hot and one switched with the ignition.
