I have a 2014 F-250 Super Duty 6.7 liter diesel truck that is equipped with four upfitter (auxiliary) switches. These four switches can control a variety of equipment and are rated for higher amperage starting on switch 1 and the lowest amperage on switch 4.
Setup was pretty easy once I finished digging through three websites, Ford’s “Body Builders Layout Book”, and two YouTube videos.
In order to idle to your desired RPM, you will need to install a resistor between wires “SOLID GREEN” and “WHITE/BROWN” on the driver’s side floor near the parking brake lever. There is a white tag with capped wire ends for customer accessories. Once the resistor is in place connect the “SOLID BROWN” auxiliary switch wire to the “YELLOW/GREEN” wire in the accessory bundle. This will enable your high idle when AUX switch 4 is flipped on, truck is in PARK, and the parking brake is ENGAGED.

How do you know what resistor controls the idle speed? Easy: read Q-180R2 page 6 table B or if the link is broken, you can download Q-180R2 here: Q-180R2 – 2011 and later F-Super Duty 6.7L Engine Stationary Elevated Idle Control
I picked up these 20K resistors and these 10K resistors on Amazon.

1200 20000 0.971 – 1200 RPMs insert a 20K resistor

2800 1100 4.019
3000 680 4.400
This is what you need on the 2014 F-250 6.7L Super Duty:
- A resistor of your choosing. Common resistor options are the 20K resistor. I chose a 10K resistor. See the links above.
- Access to an available auxiliary switch.
- A soldering iron (preferred) or butt-style crimps.
- Shrink tubing and a heat gun (preferred) or electrical tape.
