i hooked number 4 upfitter switch to the pto wire underneath the dash, they are both right below the steering column i just used a butt connector and tied the two together, they are both labeled.

Me too.
If you hook it to the battery one, from what I understand is the idle will change depending on the load. So I hooked mine to the PTO wire.

I did the BCP on mine to switch 3 since it was the lowest amperage switch. on tds their is a sticky that tells you how to do it and what to look for.
