UPFITTER CONTROLS
The auxiliary switch board on the
center console makes aftermarket
customization easier, with four
prewired switches attached to the
power distribution box for electrical
accessories.
These switches are labeled AUX 1,
AUX 2, AUX 3 and AUX 4. They will
only operate while the ignition is in the on position, whether the engine
is running or not. It is, however, recommended that the engine remain
running to maintain battery charge when using the switches for extended
duration or higher current draws. When switched on by the operator
they provide 10 amps, 15 amps or 30 amps of electrical battery power
for a variety of uses.
The switches control relays and fuses that are located under the hood in
the power distribution box. Refer to theRoadside emergenciessection
of your owner guide for information on fuse and relay locations. See your
authorized dealer for service.
There will also be one power lead for each switch found as a blunt-cut
and sealed wire located to the right of the glove box door and just above
the passenger side kick panel.
Additional pass through circuits that run through the dash panel to
under the hood are located in the same location.
The relays are coded as follows:
Switch Circuit number Wire color Fuse
AUX 1 CAC05 Yellow 30A
AUX 2 CAC06 Green with
Brown Trace 30A
AUX 3 CAC07 Violet with
Green Trace 10A
AUX 4 CAC08 Brown 15A

If your Ford or Lincoln Mercury dealership sells the name-brand tire,
they can also honor the tire manufacturer’s warranty.
Tires degrade over time depending on many factors such as weather,
storage conditions, and conditions of use (load, speed, inflation, etc.) the
tires experience throughout their lives. In general, tires should be
replaced after 6 years, regardless of tread wear. However, heat caused by
hot climates or frequent high loading conditions can accelerate the aging
process and may require the tires to be replaced more frequently. You
should replace your spare tire when you replace your road tires or after
6 years due to aging even if the tire has not been used.
BATTERIES
The technicians at your Ford or
Lincoln Mercury dealership can
determine the health of your
vehicle’s battery during any service
visit. The Motorcraft Tested Tough
Max Series with its “long-life” design
outlasted other long-life batteries by
up to 200%. That’s one reason why
we stand behind this battery with a
national, 3-year, free replacement
warranty and prorated-cost replacement thereafter for up to 100 months
and unlimited mileage. Should your battery need to be replaced, please
consider a Motorcraft brand battery that meets your vehicle’s Ford Motor
Company specifications.
