4.11 Exterior Lighting
Where the following text makes reference to the
addition of wires
Refer to: 4.14 Special Conversions (page 131).
(Adding Connectors, Terminals and Wiring)
WARNING: Make sure that the
modified vehicle complies with all
relevant legal requirements.
4.11.1 Reversing Lamps
These are hard-wired, activated by the reversing
switch on the transmission and passing through
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).

Pin Brake Light on Trailer Tow in-line connector at Rear of Vehicle
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.

Roof-Mounted Position Light - Front
The lights operate in conjunction with the normal
position lights, driven by Central Junction Box
outputs (Left Hand: pin C2-28; Right Hand: pin
C2-20).
The roof marker lights are fitted as standard to
chassis cab vehicles, except those ordered for
camper use; on cab-van-floor vehicles, there is
a connector located in the area of the A-pillar
above the sun visor on the left and right hand
sides, that will provide the appropriate signals.
To get access the roof trim needs to be
disassembled. Each connector is capable of
supplying a 5W load.
NOTE: The feed for Roof marker lights must
NOT be taken from the side-marker and
end-outline lights signal.

Connectors are already part of the wiring if the
vehicle is medium or high spec. (for example with
electrical side mirrors). The main light switch will
need to be changed for one that includes this
feature. (There are switches with and without
front fog light function).
Connecting to Lighting - Question
and Answers
1.Chassis cab end outline marker lights,
recommended circuit and max amperage –
see lighting load table. There is NO
Ford-released harness for this, as the
end-outline marker lights normally form part
of the float.

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.
