3.2 Engine Cooling
3.2.1 Auxiliary Heater Systems
WARNINGS:
Ford coolant additives are
necessary for the complete function
of the system. Only use ford
approved or equivalent specification
component, to withstand any
detrimental effects on the materials.
Do not mount components in front
of the grille or in an area of air flow
around the engine, which could
affect the engine cooling.
CAUTIONS:
Only make connections into the
heater hose between the front cab
heater and water pump return inlet.
Do not exceed the vehicle's original
coolant volume by more than 10%
Only use the manufactures
recommended (or equivalent
specification) coolant
additives/anti-freeze. Do not mix
coolant types.
•Coolant flow to cab heater must have priority
over flow to auxiliary heater or hand wash
facility.
•Coolant tube routing must be below the base
of the degas bottle.
•Use aluminum or plastic tee junction with
swaged or beaded ends to prevent hose blow
off. Reconnect original coolant tube as shown
in view E74570 (in this section) with standard
Ford water hose clip or suitable equivalent
specification clip. Ensure interference fit
between hose and 'T' joint.
•Tube routing must be secured to the body
structure or suitable brackets avoiding
electrical components or wires, hot or moving
parts and brake or fuel system components
•Hose must be heat sleeved with appropriate
material if within 100mm of exhaust
components (for example, manifold or
exhaust gas recirculating).
•The vertical clearance between the critical
cooling components (radiator, fan shroud and
radiator brackets) and both the hood inner
and outer (assembly) panels at design position
shall not be less than 15mm.
•There shall be a minimum clearance of 7mm
between the engine assembly and flexible
components (for example, hoses or wiring
harnesses) affixed to front end sheet metal
hardware, under a maximum engine torque
roll condition.
NOTE: For further information please contact
your local National Sales Company
representative, or Local Ford Dealer. If they are
unable to help you then please contact the
Vehicle Converter Advisory service at
[email protected].

High Power Bistable relay - Part number: 6C1T-10B728-A_
In addition to the fuses and relays fitted to the
Pre Fuse Box (PFB), Engine Junction Box (EJB)
and Central Junction Box (CJB), depending on
vehicle options, there may be up to 3 relays
mounted directly to the Heating, Ventilation and
Air-conditioning (HVAC) unit. These relays should
not be tampered with as they affect operation
of the associated system.
Heating, Ventilation and Air-conditioning (HVAC)
1 x 82GG-13A025-CAAir-conditioning
2 x 82GG-13A025-CAFuel-fired Heater without Air-conditioning
3 x 82GG-13A025-CAFuel-fired Heater with Air-conditioning*
*In addition to the relays, there is a diode 91AG-10374-B_
These relays have a different terminal
arrangement to those fitted throughout the rest
of the vehicle – if they need to be replaced, only
components with the same Ford part number
should be used.
Switches and their Illumination
The main instrument panel switches work in
conjunction with the Central Junction Box, and
are momentary action (non-latching) types. The
Central Junction Box is responsible for control
operation of the respective systems.
For any additional functions, unless the
interfacing module accommodates momentary
action switches, it is recommended that latching
types are used.
Three switches are available:
DescriptionFord Part Number
Rotary light (beacon)6C1V-13D768-A_
Rear work lamp6C1V-13D756-A_
Water faucet (heater)6C1V-19H218-A_
Search illumination for added switches can be
taken from any of the existing switches, by
connecting to the appropriate feed wire.

How to change the 3 pre-set default
RPM values in the 3 speed mode
1.Enter ‘learn mode’ (see directions above)
2.Arm the RPM speed controller (turn the key
switch to ‘on’)
3.Press & release the brake pedal once
4.Press & release the RPM button that requires
re-programming
5.Use the accelerator pedal to rev the engine to
the new desired RPM speed & hold at this
speed (only speeds between 1200 to 3000
rpm can be selected in 3 speed mode)
6.Press & release the same RPM button to reset
the stored RPM speed to the current engines
RPM
7.Release the accelerator pedal
8.Repeat steps 4) to 7) for the remaining RPM
buttons
The 3 RPM speeds should now be
re-programmed to the new RPM speeds. The
new settings can be saved & learn mode exited
(see below)
NOTE: If the engine RPM responds to the initial
RPM button press, then the vehicle has not
entered ‘learn mode’ correctly & you will have to
restart the procedure. If the engine stalls out at
the brake or accelerator pedal inputs then the
vehicle was not in, or has dropped out of ‘learn
mode’ & you will have to restart the procedure.
How to save new settings & exit
from ‘Learn mode’
1.From within the ‘learn mode’ & with the RPM
Speed Control switch box ‘armed’, press the
clutch pedal repeatedly until the engine stalls.
2.Restart the engine & test the new settings,
repeat above procedures if necessary
NOTE: The engine stalling indicates that the
settings should have been saved & the vehicle
has exited from ‘learn mode’. Learn mode
however is very specific that the exact steps are
taken in the correct order & within certain time
limits otherwise the learn procedure fails & it may
take several attempts to get this order & timing
correct & a successful modification from the
default settings.
Some Reasons why RPM speed
Control operation may stop or fail
The RPM Speed control software monitors
vehicle information during operation in RPM
speed control mode & will drop out of RPM speed
control and / or stall the engine should any
adverse signals be detected. For example:
•If the engine temperature becomes too hot
then RPM speed control will stop in order to
protect the engine.
•If the engine oil light illuminates then RPM
speed control will stop in order to protect the
engine
•If the low fuel level light illuminates then RPM
speed control will stop so that the vehicle can
be driven to a refueling point.
•If the vehicle speed exceeds approx 2.5 mph
wile in 3 speed or variable speed modes, then
RPM speed control may stop. RPM speed
control should normally be operated with the
hand brake on, but some uses may require a
low level of vehicle ‘creep’ during RPM speed
control operation. Note that there is no sensing
of the park brake on this version of RPM speed
controller to facilitate this type of operation.
•The software monitors for ‘stuck on’ buttons
on the control switch box, this may result in
RPM speed control being halted. A button that
is held down for too long may be registered
by the software as a ‘stuck’ button.
•The software monitors the foot pedals, if
depressed these may stall the engine if in 3
speed mode or variable speed mode (does
not apply to idle up speed)
•If the control switch box circuitry significantly
exceeds 2110 ohms or there is a short circuit
then RPM speed control will not be possible.
•If a PTO conversion has been attempted on a
vehicle with a non ABS braking system then
RPM speed control will fail due to vehicle
speed being registered via a transmission
speed sensor and / or the need to press the
clutch in order to put the vehicle in gear while
in RPM speed control mode.
4.14.10 Adding Connectors,
Terminals and Wiring
Additional Rear Speakers
NOTE: The connectors on the Instrument Panel
harness (14K024) and the main harness (14401)
are reversed between Left Hand Drive (LHD) and
Right Hand Drive (RHD) vehicles, hence different
sets of terminals/wires are required to cover all
the markets.
