Also need wire loom and add a fuse.
I taped the wires inside the truck and put the wires in the engine bay in the wire loom.
The add a fuse I bought at Orileys micro2. i used slot 36 and added a 7.5 fuse. You need to check to make sure yours is the same. Need a hot in run.

over head pin .... relay pin
9 hot in run to 12
11 illumination will explain below
2 switch 1 to 2
3 switch 2 to 9
6 ground to 1
4 switch 3 to 3
1 hot all times to 5
10 switch 4 to 4
8 switch 5 to 11
7 switch 6 to 10

for the ground I used a bolt by the body control fuses. A ground must go to the overhead and also a ground to the relay box.
The illumination wire, some pick it up under the steering column but I don't know where. The one I used was in the body control fuses the second plug from the bottom. It is the purple gray wire. You have to tap into it. You can see my yellow wire running to the purple\gray wire. There is also a purple white don' use that one use the purple gray.
You can also see in the pic where I used the add a fuse.
If you have any question you can email at the email address on the relay order sheet.
Good Luck.
ps look real close on the plugs and you will see the plug number.

Just finished the install of the kit from Boosted.

first, the kit is phenomenal and worth every penny. Truly plug and play.

The installation isn’t hard but takes quite a few hours.

you must have:

plastic trim removal tools,
Patience.

a few tips to save time:

remove the top “leather” cover on the steering steel shroud can save you a few mins. You can reach in and plug in the connectors without removing the entire shroud.

torque spec on the seat bolts from what I could find is 41Ft-lbs.

you need the attachments as the instruction version I received from boosted didn’t detail how to remove the hvac console, for example.

Rather than cut a hole in my truck to run the wires to the relay box next to the battery, I carefully modified the existing rubber grommet to fit the original wire and the wire to the relay(see pic). I will apply some silicone to ensure weather proofing.

To ensure this same wire stays as far away from the heat cycles of the turbo as possible I zip tied it to the wheel well as well.

Ford uses cheap trim piece clips, but that helps the trim parts come off easier. Being patient helps to not break clips. No clips were broken during this operation!

Thanks for all of the info on how you made it work.

Are you able to repost this attachment?

Seems like the link is dead. Thanks!

This is the add a fuse I used

Does anyone have or know the up to date part number for the overhead console without pano roof with rear slider? I have a 24 XLT 302A. The ford site is a mess and the previous part numbers in this thread dont match up to what my truck has/doesnt have

Go to car-part.com look under f250 2021. (The f250 fits the 150).
Then look under front console. You will see the different options.
Don't know what color you have but it appears there are both black and gray on the site.
I used the f250 on my 2021 f150 lariat and it fit perfect.

Made the decision to make my own harness. Boosted's site is out of stock and sent messages asking when/if there is going to be another run of his kit with no answer. Have everything ordered and its on its way including what i think is the right overhead console. Do you have a picture of how you mounted the relay box and where you tied in for illumination? I poured over the wiring diagrams so i have all of the pin assignments for the connectors

I just zip tied the relay box to the battery box. I can send a pic if you want it

If you could that would be awesome. Is there any reason to not tap the illumination up top at the console illumination wire?

 

[billp9]

Here are a few pics of how and where I mounted my relay box. I removed the plastic wire holder on the cable and ran the zip tie in that hole. I'm sure there are other ways of doing it but with the length of wire that came on the relay box it worked well for me.
I couldn't the illumination wire in the overhead console so that is why I use the wire I did.

 

[billp9]

I would like to see some pics when you're done
