Hooking up high idle thru upfitter switch

I have removed the panel under the steering wheel and found the bundled wires, including those from the upfitters. Careful that stamped steel has some sharp edges. I want to hook up the elevated idle circuit. My question is, which upfitter switch would you recommend for this? I think the lowest amp rated switch should do the trick, saving the higher amperage switches for the big back up lights I want to install. Also reading the Ford brochure on SEIC, it states that the torque converter will be latched up, allowing for PTO operation. I don't need nor want the torque converter to latch up, rather only wanting elevated idle for faster warm ups on cold days or if necessary prolonged idle with the cooling down of the engine.

I never installed it myself but my garage hooked up the high idle to switch number 4, the lowest amp one. Works great too. Later
