Retrofit Manual Control and a New Controller for Older-Style PowerStep Systems
The AMP Research 79107-01A is a bundle that pairs a three-position flush-mount override toggle switch with a replacement STB1 controller. It is designed specifically for vehicles running older-style AMP Research PowerStep kits part numbers 75141-01A and 75134-01A giving those owners both an updated controller and manual override capability in a single kit. The 79107-01A does not work with newer-style installations; if your system uses a current controller, use the 79106-01A switch instead. Fitment covers Ford F-150 (2009-2014), Ford F-250/F-350 Super Duty (2002-2016), and Ford F-450 Super Duty (2008-2016). Backed by AMP Research's 3-year warranty.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the AMP Research 79107-01A?
The AMP Research 79107-01A is a bundle containing a three-position override toggle switch and an STB1 replacement controller for older AMP Research PowerStep systems. It is intended exclusively for vehicles using AMP Research PowerStep kit part numbers 75141-01A or 75134-01A, providing both updated control electronics and manual deployment capability.
What is the difference between the 79106-01A and the 79107-01A?
The 79106-01A is the switch only, for use with any new-style PowerStep controller already installed. The 79107-01A includes the switch plus a STB1 controller and is intended for older-style PowerStep kits (75141-01A and 75134-01A) that do not already have a compatible controller. Choose the 79107-01A if your system is older-generation and you need both pieces.
Can the 79107-01A be used with newer PowerStep installations?
No. The 79107-01A is designed only for AMP Research PowerStep kits 75141-01A and 75134-01A. Using it with a newer-style installation will not work correctly. For new-style systems, use the 79106-01A switch (controller separate) or the 79105-01A switch-and-STA-controller bundle.
Does installation require drilling?
Yes. Installing the flush-mount toggle switch requires drilling a hole in your chosen mounting surface. This is a straightforward process — mark the location, drill the hole, insert the switch, and route the wiring harness to the controller.
What vehicles does the 79107-01A fit?
The 79107-01A fits 2009-2014 Ford F-150, 2002-2016 Ford F-250 Super Duty, 2002-2016 Ford F-350 Super Duty, and 2008-2016 Ford F-450 Super Duty — vehicles that were commonly equipped with the 75141-01A and 75134-01A PowerStep kits.
What warranty does the 79107-01A carry?
The AMP Research 79107-01A is backed by a 3-year warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship under normal use conditions.
Where does the toggle switch mount?
The 79107-01A switch is a flush-mount design that can be installed in the dash, center console, A-pillar, or any accessible panel surface. The plug connects directly to the included STB1 controller.
Is the 79107-01A in stock and ready to ship?
Stock availability is shown on the product page and updated in real time. AMP Research replacement parts typically ship within 1-3 business days from our warehouse.
