the Central Junction Box where the signal is
sensed. A marginal increase in current (via a relay
or buffered electrical input) is permissible to
trigger a rear-view camera system, or audible
device.
4.11.2 Additional External Lamps
All power for additional exterior lamps must be
taken through the Auxiliary Fuse Box with a
suitable switch and / or relay as required.
Refer to: 4.13 Fuses and Relays (page 119).
• If CAT 6 directional indicators are to be fitted,
the Central Junction Box will need to be
configured for this.
• The load on the reversing lamps should not
exceed a total of 3A (42W).

4.12 Interior Lighting
4.12.1 Additional Internal Lamps
Additional cabin interior lighting may be obtained
by directly accessing the connector inside the
dome lamp in the cab.
Additional load space interior lighting may be
obtained by directly accessing the connector
inside the load space lamps in the load space
area.
CAUTION: The maximum total
internal lamp load must not exceed
5A (75W)
Power for the Interior Lights - cabin and
cargo areas – comes from the battery save
system (Central Junction Box pin C2-31), and for
vehicles with power locking,* the circuit for each
area is controlled by a separate pin on the Central
Junction Box:
•Front (cabin) lights, pin C2-22
•Rear (cargo) lights, pin C2-27 wire not present
on chassis cab and cab-van-floor vehicles
* with manual locking vehicles, control of interior
lighting is done directly through the door contact
switches. All vehicles, however, utilise the battery
saver relay to provide power for internal lighting
for a limited time.
Each of these pins on the Central Junction Box
can take a load of 75W. Lights that are controlled
by the battery save circuit will extinguish 30 to
180 minutes after ignition off (dependent on
vehicle configuration).
4.12.2 Additional 'Theatre
Lighting' for rear of vehicle
interior
For chassis cab or cab-van floor (and camper)
vehicles, rear lighting is not utilised and so there
is no wire to pin C2-27. However, converters can
add their own lights (up to the max. load) via the
battery save or a separate switchable feed, by
adding a pre-crimped wire and terminal to
connector C2. This is located on the Central
Junction Box behind the glove box on the
passenger side (please refer to Figures E84705
and E84712).
Refer to: 4.14 Special Conversions (page 131).
(Adding connectors, Terminals and Wiring)
Where higher wattage installations are required,
these should be taken through the Auxiliary Fuse
Box with a suitable switch and / or relay as
required.
Refer to: 4.13 Fuses and Relays (page 119).

Instrument Panel Illumination (12V feed)Pin 6
Air Conditioning On (12V)*Pin 5
It is recommended that these signals are used
to energize relays, or any other device, as long
as the maximum current does not exceed
300mA per function, or 600mA (suitable for
powering two relays) for the ignition feed.
NOTE: *There is NO direct provision for an air
conditioning on signal. When the air-conditioning
is switched on, 12V is applied to the defrost
compressor switch and the Air conditioning low
speed blower relay (both integral to the heating
ventilation and air conditioning unit and 18B518
wiring), and the Air conditioning cycling switch
(in the engine bay as part of the 9K499 wiring
[via the 14401 and 14K024 harnesses]). Additional
load on this line is limited, so air conditioning on
is only available as a signal (300mA) for voltage
sensing or powering of a relay – powering
another device directly is Not recommended.
Where additional current is required from either
output, a standard relay should be used, please
refer to Relay Figures E75017-E75021.
The Special Vehicle Option Auxiliary Fuse Box is
recommended as the most suitable power
source for these relays. Please consult your local
National Sales Company representative for
availability.

4.13.7 Windscreen wipers
NOTE: Power to wiper motors is limited by the
size of the wiring and associated relays. If any
alternative wiper installation is made, it must have
a specification equivalent to Ford components.
Refer to: 5.6 Glass, Frames and Mechanisms
(page 211).
The base wiper system should not be tampered
with (controlled by Central Junction Box and
multiplex architecture).
Headlamp wash – such installations would need
to be controlled via an external timer relay. The
Special Vehicle Option Auxiliary Fuse Box should
be utilized.
Heated washer jets – aftermarket systems should
be fitted via an ignition feed, via an additional relay.
The Special Vehicle Option Auxiliary Fuse Box
should be utilized.

4.14.1 Vehicle Speed Output
(Signal)
At present, this information is only readily available
as a CAN message. However, on Diesel vehicles
it is possible to access a hard-wired output.
In the engine compartment there are three
connectors on the left hand side (viewed from
driving direction). On left hand drive vehicles, the
three connectors are covered with a plastic
shield that can be easily disassembled. On right
hand drive vehicles there is a special metal
security shield fixed with a shear bolt (part
number 6M5Y-12B539-A*). The vehicle speed
signal is available on pin K1 of the middle (brown)
connector, C2 – see Figure E84720 (Additional
Vehicle Signal / Features). This provides a square
wave-form (50% duty cycle) signal, where a
frequency of 138Hz equates to 100km/h.
Note:-
•A hard-wired vehicle speed signal is only
available on diesel engine vehicles.
•Vehicle speed is derived from one of two
sources, the wheel speed sensor (for vehicles
with ABS etc.) or the vehicle speed signal – in
both cases, these are un-calibrated signals.
According to transmission, drive-line and other
vehicle parameters that are set, the
Powertrain Control Module generates a CAN
message of vehicle speed for all vehicle types.
There is No hard-wired vehicle speed signal
on gasoline (petrol) vehicles.
•There is No automated shift transmission for
V4347/8 (there are no plans to introduce this
later in the program).
•VMT6 transmissions will not support fitment
of a vehicle speed sensor.
Connector Position for Vehicle Speed Signal in the Engine Compartment
In order to avoid electrical issues due to leakage,
and to ensure connector compatibility, a
pre-crimped wire and terminal, available as part
of a wiring accessory kit, should be used (kit part
number KT6C1V-14A411-J*). For further
information see 'Adding Connectors, Terminals
and Wiring' in this manual.

The fitment of the Special Vehicle Option auxiliary
box will provide a power source for the relay
(although connection to the engine run pin is still
required).
Where connections are already made to the
engine run signal, it is vital that these connections
remain connected. In this instance, a suitable 'Y'
Jumper link should be used to tap out of the
connection.
Refer to: 4.13 Fuses and Relays (page 119).
If a positive (+12V) engine run signal is required,
this is possible by using the relay contacts to ‘pull
in’ 12V (preferably an ignition feed, KL15)

4.14.3 Connectors
Cutting into the Original Wiring
System
WARNINGS:
Under no circumstances should the
CAN bus be tampered with. This
may lead to failure of safety critical
components such as Anti-lock
Brake System.
Do not use connectors which cut
through the outer covering and into
the core wire
CAUTION: Only use Ford approved
connectors
Cutting into vehicle wiring is not permitted
because:-
•The base vehicle specification is unsuitable
for incremental loads except in conjunction
with Special Vehicle Option Auxiliary Fuse Box.
•Long term risk of a faulty connection
developing.
•Potential fire risk from over-loading.
All connections into existing wiring must be
permanently insulated. Exterior connections must
be water-proof.
