•

When adding accessories, equipment,

indicated on the Safety Compliance
Certification label). Ask an authorized
dealer for specific weight information.

•

The Federal Communications
Commission (FCC) and Canadian
Radio Telecommunications
Commission (CRTC) regulate the use
of mobile communications systems

Any such equipment installed in your
vehicle should comply with Federal

and Canadian Radio
Telecommunications Commission
(CRTC) regulations and should be
installed only by an authorized dealer.

•

An authorized dealer needs to install
mobile communications systems.
Improper installation may harm the
operation of your vehicle, particularly
if the manufacturer did not design the
mobile communication system
specifically for automotive use.

•

If you or an authorized Ford dealer add
any non-Ford electrical or electronic
accessories or components to your
vehicle, you may adversely affect
battery performance and durability. In

The auxiliary switch option package
provides four switches, mounted in the
center of the instrument panel. These
switches operate when the vehicle is
running or from battery power, depending
on the switchable PDB fuse locations #82
and #83. Ford recommends, however, that
the engine remain running to maintain
battery charge when using the auxiliary
switches for extended periods of time or
higher current draws.

When switched on, the auxiliary switches
provide 20 amps or 40 amps of electrical
battery power for a variety of personal or
commercial uses.

The switches include the fuse and relay kit.
This kit contains the required fuses and
relays that an authorized technician needs
to install into the power distribution box,
located under the hood. Refer to the
instruction sketch included in the kit.
Contact an authorized dealer for service.

Each switch includes a power lead (a
blunt-cut and sealed wire) located in the
underhood cowl shield above the engine
block powertrain control module.

The power leads are coded as follows:
