Exterior Lamp
Emergency Flashing
System - SEO 6J7
SEO 6J7 provides a high-beam
headlamps flashing module, rear
lamps flashing and control wire for a
customer-furnished switch to turn
the module on or off. The flasher
control wire is coiled under the
center of the instrument panel. This
control lead may be combined with
the interior wiring leads for SEO 6J3
when that option is ordered with
SEO 6J7.
The headlamps flashing module is
located below the passenger side
front headlamp and forward of the
passenger side front wheel. The
module is connected to an inline
connector in the forward lamp
harness. The headlamps flashing
module is activated by the
application of 12 volts to a dark
green/red wire coiled in the
passenger side footwell.When activated, the driver and
passenger side high-beam
headlamps and the high-beam
instrument panel cluster light will
flash alternately at 2.4 flashes per
second.
When the headlamps flashing
module is turned on, the module
sends a signal to the Body Control
Module (BCM). The BCM alternately
flashes the stop lamps and backup
lamps. Depressing the brake pedal
will override the stop lamp flashing
and placing the transmission in
reverse will override the backup
lamp flashing.
Activation of the headlamp and
rearlamp flashing can be separated
by opening the dark-blue/yellow
BCM circuit at the flasher module
connector, C122–F, and applying a
customer-switched ground to the
harness side of the wire in the
connector.
During daylight conditions, the
Daytime Running Lamps (DRL) are
automatically turned off whenever
the headlamps flasher module is
activated. During nighttime
conditions, the low-beam
headlamps turn on automatically
while the high-beam headlamps
flash. Turning on the high-beam
headlamps manually with the turn
signal/multifunction lever will
override the flashing module and
the high-beam headlamps will
operate continuously.

located in the roof. Power is
controlled with a switch located in
the overhead console. The
customer or vehicle upfitter must
complete the installation to an
added accessory such as an
emergency beacon lamp.
Maximum rated electrical load is
21 amps (250 watts). The added
electrical requirements must not
exceed 21 amps (250 watts).

harness through a panel hole that
has sharp edges may cause
damage to the wire and/or wire
insulation. Remove sharp edges
from the panel hole before pulling
the wire through it.
Option A: Roof Wires Directly to
Accessory
1. Drill a 10 to 13 mm (3/8 in to 1/2 in) hole in the outer roof
