Third Brake/Stop Light
A signal for a third brake / stop light is also
available on the tail light connector (see Reverse
Signal). It can be used directly to feed an LED
stop light, or a conventional stop light with a bulb
(maximum 21W)*
In order to avoid electrical issues due to leakage,
and to ensure connector compatibility, a mating
connector with seals/plugs and pre-crimped wire
& terminal should be used.
For connectivity, see following Figure E84725,
also the details given in the section for Reverse
Signal and in Adding Connectors, Terminals and
Wiring.

DescriptionItem
Third Stop LightPin 8
*If an existing third brake/stop lamp is already
fitted, or if the power exceeds 21W, an
intermediate relay must be used.
For Van, Bus and Kombi, the signal should be
derived from the 6-way connector to the rear
light assembly, pin 4.
Additional Position Lights at the Rear
of the Vehicle
The feed for position lights only at the rear
(bottom / top) can be taken from the licence plate
lighting connectors: left and right. For the correct
pin, please refer to Figure E84727; the maximum
load is 10W per side.
NOTE: Any additional position lights should be
taken from the licence plate lights, and no other
source.
In order to avoid electrical issues due to leakage,
and to ensure connector compatibility, a mating
connector with seals/plugs and pre-crimped wire
& terminal should be used. See Adding
Connectors,Terminals and Wiring.
NOTE: Position lamps (front and rear) only
function with the lighting switch in positions 1 or
2; however, the same bulbs are also used for the
parking lamps. There are two operating modes
for the latter, both with the ignition key removed.
1.Ignition off, master light switch to position ‘P’:
all 4 lamps are on.
2.Ignition off, master light switch off, move turn
indicator stalk to either left or right position (and
leave in): tell-tale and chime will operate briefly
and parking lamps (2) on the side selected will
be on.
The position and parking functions operate
independently.
When the position lights are extinguished, the
side marker and end-outline markers turn off
simultaneously, in line with InterRegs No 48, which
states the following:
5.11 - The electrical connections must be such
that the front and rear position lamps, the
end-outline marker lamps, if they exist, the
side-marker lamps, if they exist, and the rear
registration plate lamp can only be switched on
and off simultaneously. This condition does not
apply when using front and rear position lamps,
as well as side-marker lamps when combined or
reciprocally incorporated with said lamps, as
parking lamps and when side-marker lamps are
permitted to flash.

Licence Plate Lamp Connector
Side (and End Outline) Marker Lights
Side-marker and end-outline lights should be
installed in-line with the relevant vehicle
regulations. Both types of lamp are driven from
the same output on the Central Junction Box
(pin C2-16).
The number of lights per side that can be
supported (without the need for relay-activated
feeds) is typically 4 lights, provided the total load
does not exceed 20W, for example:- a total
additional vehicle load of 40W. There are two
ways to obtain this signal:
1.The chassis cab / cab-van-floor camper
underbody harness (14406) has 2 in-line
breakout connectors – in the middle of the
vehicle and in the area of the rear axle – that
provide feeds to these lights. Each breakout
will support a 10W load, and will connect with
a Ford jumper harness (part number
6C1T-15B484-A*) that provides connectors
to each side of the vehicle for side marker
lights (one harness connects to one left and
one right side marker light, for example:- 5W
per side).
NOTE: These breakout connectors are only
available on cab-van-floor LWB (2 pairs) and
MWB (1 pair) and chassis cab LWB (2 pairs) but
not on chassis cab MWB.
2.Alternatively, and/or in addition to, the feed
for the side-marker and end-outline marker
lights can be taken from the connectors to
the licence plate lights (2-way connector). see
also Adding Connectors, Terminals and Wiring.
NOTE: The feed for side-marker and end-outline
lights must NOT be taken from the position lights
signals. (The Central Junction Box output
provides power for the left and right position
lights, other lights including trailer tow, and will
NOT accept any additional load). The
side-marker and end-outline lights signal must
NOT be used for the roof marker lights.

5.1.2 Back Panel Removal
When planning and specifying the base vehicle
and the conversion, select the Special Vehicle
Option, which has a detachable cab back panel.
Please consult your local National Sales
Representative for availability.
5.1.3 Integrated Bodies and
Conversions
For integral structures such as ambulances or
motor-homes with increased rear overhang built
onto the chassis the following applies:
•Reduced departure angles, e.g. rear entry
step, should be discussed with the end user
/ customer. Consider removable components
to avoid damage on ferries or low-loaders.
•Unique spare wheel stowage may be required
if obscured by rear step, check for
accessibility.
•The recommended dimensions for
wheelhouses on conversions are outlined in
Figure. E74528, E74529 and E74530.
However, in case a specific conversion
requires wheelhouse dimensions smaller than
described below, please consult the Vehicle
Converter Advisory Service ([email protected])
for an individual solution.

DescriptionItem
Sub-frame Longitudinal1
Sub-frame Outriggers2
Floor of Van3
Load Compartment Tie Down (Load Lashing Point)4
Captive Compliant Bush5
For Van, Bus and Kombi:
•It is recommended to fix every mount with M8
bolt grade 8.8 minimum. For load
compartment tie down locations.
Refer to: 5.2 (page 200).
(Figures E74505 - E74508)
•It is recommended to fix sub-frame to the floor
at the load compartment tie downs only. Any
other floor contact should be padded to
prevent local stress and to allow function of
compliant mounts.
•It is not recommended to engineer through
the floor fixings to clamp around side
members.
•If the load compartment tie downs are not
suitable see, Frame Drilling and Tube
Reinforcing.
Refer to: 5.11 Frame and Body Mounting (page
222).
•Very stiff sub-frames should not be rigidly
mounted to the floor, please refer to Figure
E75876 for an example of a compliant mount.
Compliant bushes should allow up to +/-12mm
movement at a rate of 100kg per 1.0mm
deflection with only the rear pair of load
compartment tie down mounting brackets
being fixed.
•Support legs, if required, must be fitted directly
to the sub-frame
•Support legs must be designed to prevent any
adverse strain on the vehicle structure when
operating the equipment
CAUTIONS:
Safety devices must ensure the legs
are deployed when operating the
lifting equipment.
Safety devices must ensure the legs
are stowed and locked away prior
to engaging vehicle drive.

5.11.3 Extended Chassis Frame
General:
•Rear overhang extensions are available as
Regular Production Option.
•Bodies or equipment exceeding the standard
extension length must be supported, please
refer to Figure E74575 low body longitudinal
members or Figure E74576 self-supporting
body structures.
•It is the Body Builder's responsibility to mark-up
the owners’ handbook advising the available
payload. Axle plated weights and maximum
allowable axle mass as shown in this manual
must not be exceeded.
•The vehicle should be planned for uniformly
distributed loads.
5.11.4 Non Standard Rear Chassis
Frame Extension
Extensions longer than the standard Regular
Production Option must comply with the following
guidelines:
•The original rear cross member and or
under-run bar or equivalent must be
repositioned at the end of any altered
extension to meet legislation, please refer to
Figure E74578 Non Regular Production Option
rear chassis frame extensions. Also see.
Refer to: 1.17 Towing (page 54).
(Figure E74854)
•The standard fit under-run bar is bolted on as
shown in Figure E74578 and Figure E74854
as mentioned in previous paragraph.
•The altered extension assembly must include
a cross member adjacent to the end of the
original chassis frame to replace the relocated
under-run bar, see Figure E74577.
•Flat-beds and low bodies built onto Non
Regular Production Option extensions must
have continuous longitudinal members
engineered by the Body Builder or equipment
supplier (please refer to Figure. E74577) to
resolve the worst case moments at rear bump
stop.
•Extensions should be secured to the chassis
frame sandwiched under the rear spring
shackle bracket utilizing the four (4) bolts and
four (4) holes in the rear of the chassis frame,
totaling eight (8) per vehicle side (please refer
to Figure E74578).
•The four (4) rear most existing holes in the
chassis frame must be sleeved with tubes to
prevent chassis frame collapse, refer to Figure
E74578.
•The spacer tubes should, ideally, be part of a
welded bracket and tube assembly to hold the
tubes accurately in place, avoiding the need
to weld the tubes in place, see Figure E74578.
•Care must be taken when tightening the spring
shackle bracket bolts and nuts to the correct
torque. See
Refer to: 1.15 (page 43).
(tightening torques).
•Extensions sleeved over the outside of the
chassis frame will necessitate the removal of
the under-run bar attachment flanges turned
out at the chassis frame ends. The cut edges
must be protected against corrosion.
Refer to: 5.10 Corrosion Prevention (page 221).
•Drilling of the top flanges turned out is only
permissible rearward of the spring hanger
brackets, for continuity of the altered extension
closing plate, if required. The diameter of the
holes should be 6.0mm maximum.
•If the chassis frame includes the inverted top
hat closure of the 4.25 tonne chassis double
cab variant, a similar closure must be included
in the extension and sleeved over the chassis
frame. It will be necessary to add two (2) holes
and reinforcing tubes in the inverted top hat
chassis frame vertically in line with the group
of four (4) holes see Figure E74578.
