(such as P-metric versus LT-metric or all-season versus all-terrain) as those originally provided by Ford. Use of any tire or wheel not recommended by Ford can affect the safety and performance of your vehicle, which could result in an increased risk of the loss of vehicle control, vehicle rollover, personal injury or death.

• Do not exceed 48 km/h (30 mph) with tire cables or chains on your vehicle. Consult your dealer for information on other Ford approved methods of traction control. Vehicle Loading WARNING: The appropriate loading capacity of your vehicle can be limited either by volume capacity (how much space is available) or by payload capacity (how much weight the vehicle should carry).

General Information Section 1: General Information • The resulting figure equals the available amount of cargo and luggage load capacity. For example, if the ‘‘XXX’’ amount equals 1,400 lb and there will be five 150 lb passengers in your vehicle, the amount of available cargo and luggage load capacity is 650 lb (1400 - 750 (5 x 150) = 650 lb).

Electrical Table of Contents Section 2: Electrical Electrical Basics Throughout a vehicle, electricity is supplied through ‘‘hot’’ wires, comparable to the pressurized supply pipes of a plumbing system. At various points along the wires are electrical loads in the form of lights, switches and receptacles. Turning on a light switch is somewhat like opening a faucet to let water run, electricity flows through the hot wire to make the light illuminate.

Electrical Section 2: Electrical To figure the current needed for a device rated in watts, turn the equation around: Watts/volts = amperes. For example, if you have a piece of equipment, such as a communications radio, that uses 120 watts: 120 watts/12 volts = 10 amperes. Control Modules —...

Electrical Section 2: Electrical Note: The High-Voltage Service Disconnect is accessible by lowering the rear seatback on the passenger side and removing the access cover located on the battery cover. 4. Wait 5 minutes after the service disconnect has been removed before continuing service. This allows any residual voltage in the high-voltage system to dissipate.

• Install the fuse panel so fuses are readily accessible. • Make sure that connections are easily accessible for assembly and service. • Inspect all Ford gauges, lights and switches for correct operation after instrument panel work is performed. • Make sure submersible connectors do not lose their seals under extreme assembly conditions such as bending wires 90 degrees immediately after the connector.
Electrical Section 2: Electrical • Adherence to the above guidelines is not to be construed as approval by Ford Motor Company of any specific revisions or additions to the vehicles original electrical system. • Document all revisions to the electrical system and place with the vehicle Owner’s Literature.
Electrical 2-13 Section 2: Electrical Terminals and Connectors Connector Types: • Submersible (sealed) — A connector that is capable of being immersed in water. • Weather-resistant — A connector that will retain its sealing and connection qualities while being exposed to adverse weather conditions. •...
2-14 Electrical Section 2: Electrical • Determine the terminal type. Base your decision on wire gauge, current carrying capacity, connector type and insulation type. — Use non-detent low insertion force terminals whenever possible. — Do not use low insertion force female terminals in weather-resistant connectors. —...
Electrical 2-15 Section 2: Electrical • Use 135% of the fuse rating when sizing wiring to protect the circuit in the event of an overload. Fuses will last for one hour at 135% of their rating. — Total current draw is the sum of the base vehicles circuit current requirement (measured with an ammeter) and the anticipated add-on component current requirements.
• Tape — Tape is the most basic means of protection. It contains the wires in a loose bundle and provides limited environmental protection. It does not protect against chafing and pinching. — Kendall polyken fiberglass base tape (Ford specification ESB-M3G38-A) is used for engine compartment applications. This durable tape provides protection against cut-through and abrasion commonly found in underhood applications.
Electrical 2-17 Section 2: Electrical • Scroll — Similar to convolute, but without the ridges. Scroll is used where harness rigidity is required, especially for maintaining critical locator dimensions. Use scroll for short lengths only, as it is quite inflexible. Grommets and Sealing Requirements Any additional wiring routed through sheet metal must pass through a grommet that both seals the opening and locates the wire(s).
Page 31
2-18 Electrical Section 2: Electrical • Route wires to avoid metal edges, screws, trim fasteners and abrasive surfaces. When such routing is not possible, use protective devices (shields, caps) to protect the wires. Cover metal edges with a protective shield and fasten the wiring within 76 mm (3 in) on each side of the edge (see figure below).
• The wire retainers and grommets installed by the assembly plant are usually designed to accommodate only the Ford-installed wires. Additional wiring or tubing should be retained by additional clips. When added wires or tubes are routed through sheet metal panels, new holes with proper wire protection and sealing must be used.
Page 33
2-20 Electrical Section 2: Electrical For retainer screws, the following guidelines apply: • Avoid using fasteners that are too long for the application or are in an area which might damage vehicle components, including wiring, brake lines, fuel tank and lines, powertrain components, exhaust system and suspension.
Electrical 2-21 Section 2: Electrical Splices and Repairs WARNING: Do NOT splice into or repair high-voltage (orange) wiring/cables. The high-voltage in this system is approximately 325 volts DC. Failure to follow these instructions may result in severe personal injury or death. •...

2-22 Electrical Section 2: Electrical 2. Strip wires to appropriate length. 3. Install heat shrink tubing. 4. Twist the wires together. 5. Note: Use resin-core mildly-activated (RMA) solder. Do not use acid-core solder. Solder wires together. 6. Note: Wait for solder to cool before moving wires. Bend wire No.
Page 36
Electrical 2-23 Section 2: Electrical 7. Note: Overlap tubing on both wires. Evenly position heat shrink tubing over wire repair. 8. Use a shielded heat gun to heat the repaired area until adhesive flows out of both ends of heat shrink tubing.

E6FZ-14488-C Butt Connector Gauge: 10-12, Color: Yellow Heat Shrinkable Tubing (Heat Shrink) (Ford Specification ESB-M99D56-A2) Heat shrinkable tubing is available in various diameters for different splice sizes and configurations. When shrunk, it forms a small, flexible hermetic seal. Other methods (tape, PVC mold) do not provide a hermetic seal and are not recommended. Splice balancing is critical with heat shrink insulation.
Page 38
Electrical 2-25 Section 2: Electrical 4. Select the appropriate wire splice for the wires to be spliced from Rotunda Wire Splice Kit 164-R5903. 5. Note: Rotunda Pro-Crimper 164-R5901 supplied with the wire splice kit is the only tool that can be used with these splices. Identify the appropriate chamber on the Rotunda Pro-Crimper by matching the wire size on the dies with the wire size stamped on the butt splice.
