    I am willing to be the lab rat on this mod. Just need some help getting started. 2015 electrical schematics would be great if someone can post them.

    Goal #1 flip a single switch to kill all running,brake,turning,dash,radio and any other illuminated feature in the truck. Illegal?Open for interpretation! But I think mod would be worth the risk.

    Goal #2 accomplished goal number one without blowing any fuses or frying any computers !

    I wanted a vehicle with this capability ever since I heard Humvees have the same ability .

    If this works I'll post my first how to pics. And step by step instructions. WHEN it doesn't work I'll post my first how not to do pics. And step by step instructions on how to void a warranty and torch the shit out of your truck. Anyway the risk is all mine.

    The last guy to ask about doing this got his thread deleted and a vacation from TW IIRC.

    Have fun with whatever comes your way.

    Because there is too much grey area, I assume.

    The last person who asked was a 17 year old prick, so maybe you have that advantage. But there is genuinely no legitimate need to have a switch to turn all of your lights off like that.

    If there is, I'd be curious to know.

    That aside, a forum isn't open to all discussion and mods have, in the recent past, decided that this topic is not allowed here. So, as I said.. good luck.

    Also, discussing illegal activity is for sure not allowed, so you're pretty much doomed.

    I changed the illegal part. The reason I want to do this mod is......I'm a selfdiagnosed handicapped man with very sensitive eyes and like to let the truck run in the winter to stay warm.( low circulation with diabetes) when picking up kids from after school events. In the summer time my asthma and allergies are chronically inflamed so I need my windows up with the AC on. ( Bright lights give me migraine headaches and pass out from time to time ) so this mods is for medical purposes and offroad use only.
    How's that?

    All you need to do is switch the DTRLs, right? I've thought about doing this. I don't always like lights on when I'm not on roads, such as when I'm driving into my hunting area in the morning. Sure, switching the brake lights would be full stealth, but for my purpose (and I'll assume OP's) at least those are on the rear.

    Trying to help a brother out...

    Would the old fuse/ relay work here? The one from pre-DTRL Tacos?

    are you talking about military or commercial humvees? Our humvees to this but we have black out lights to see with night vision. Also cant you use the dimmer switch to turn down the lights in the cab? Idk about 2015 but my 2006 I can turn off the dash at night. Fellow asthmatic here out of all the things to suck at i suck at breathing haha.

    I don't know what part your talking about.
    My thoughts are to find the 12v feeds to all the lighting before the factory fuses and wire them to a terminal bar that get voltage from a relay on a switch. Sounds simple but probably not

    On the topic of a kill all lights switch, does anybody have a kill truck switch hidden somewhere so it's harder to steal?
