Auxiliary wire gauge?

[Lil Red]

Does anyone know the gauge of the auxiliary wires, specifically the ignition wire? Also, what gauge are cb radio wires typically?

Mine were all 12. Which concerned me a little coming from the switch. If aux 1+2 are 40 amp those two should have been 10awg. Mopar part straight from reputable seller.
Cb typically turns a 12/2. I have seen 14/2, but those were on cheaper models.

The factory aux switches have different size wires than the dealer installed version. The dealer installed version doesn't have the always hot or ignition on wires and all four of the aux switch wires are the same guage (appeared to be 14 awg to me). The factory wiring has 12 awg on the 40 A switches, and about 16 awg on the 10 A switches. The always hot and ignition on wires are smaller, maybe 18 awg or less (I would not run a radio off of them).

I just had my Aux Kit (82215798AD) installed and all four wires in the engine compartment are all the same gauge as well. Confused also.
