Is it possible to wire this harness to one of the AUX switches?

[ShadowsPapa]

Side question...am I correct in recalling that there are (4) AUX feeds wires inside the cab as well as under the hood? If so are they connected to each other, like AUX 1 being the same wire just having a connection point in both places one in the cab, and the same one under the hood? So you could use that relay to run multiple items, so long as you don't overload the stated value of the circuit?

Both the cab wire and the engine bay wire go back to a common point.
Correct.
You could run 2 10-15 amp loads on the same 40 amp "switch" for example.

You are correct. Also, there’s a constant positive battery, and accessory connection in the same spot under the glove box.

Not doubting yours a bit. But mine is different. Promise you. It’s a 2022 Mojave

Really? I have a 22 Mojave and it does show #1 and #2 at 40amps while #3 and #4 shows 15 amps. You can see thickness of 4 wires (2 thick and 2 thin). I install all 8 led lights to my 4 aux switches.

This is how they all are, assuming they have the aux package.

Different how exactly?

FACTORY auxiliary switches vs. dealer or owner installed MOPAR auxiliary switch package.

For some reason, MOPAR in their finite wisdom, decided to assign different capacities to different switches in the add-on package (compared to the factory installed)

Just the way they arrange the 15 and 40 amp position. Mine is 1 & 3-40 amp. 2 & 4-15 amp

Like @ShadowsPapa mentioned above, are yours add-on aux switches, or factory installed?

Their dealer installed and I know they’re different than factory. Look and operate the same, just different locations in the amp configuration.

Makes sense then as it’s the add on.

A bit yes, tbh. But making an effort to digest this slowly.

I didn't read through this whole thread to see if you figured it out but basically you'll connect the hot wires to the aux switch and the ground to one of your chassis grounds next the battery

Mine came with factory aux switches and I'm using two of them right now. I'm not going to add more confusion by restating anything about which wires to use and which ones to ignore. All I'm going to say is there's a good empty grounding post right by the aux switch wire bundle on the inside of the right front fender.

Thanks all for your suggestions and ideas, but this is my daily driver and I don't want to ruin it by connecting things in the wrong wires. I will take a look at how the Jeep shop does it so I can learn for next time.

If you were here - I'd have you bring if over, and show exactly which wires do what, where to connect, and multiple ways you might connect (either permanend/solder, butt splices, or a terminal block, for example) and you'd be set in minutes.

It really is that easy.
