Ford Explorer: Police Equipment / General Procedures

Programming

1
Warning
Police Package warning lights are high-intensity light-emitting diode (LED) lights. Do not look directly at these lights as this may cause temporary blindness and/or eye damage. Failure to follow this instruction may result in personal injury.

NOTE
When cycling through flash patterns, most patterns include an on/off pattern followed by a reverse off/on pattern. Setting an LED on one side to on/off and another to off/on creates an alternating effect of the pattern, which should not be confused with synchronization. Synchronization applies to the pattern timing between LEDs in the group. For proper synchronization, the flashing LEDs must be selected individually. Refer to the Police Utility Modifier Guide for specific flash pattern LED patterns.
Disconnect the flashing LED to be programmed.
2
Connect ground to pin 4 on the flashing LED component side.
3
NOTICE: This step activates the separate flasher LED. The flasher LED must be active to change the flash pattern.
Apply 12 volts to pin 1 on the component side of the flasher LED.
4
To change the flasher LED pattern:
- To advance to the next pattern, apply 12 volts to pin 2 on the component side of the flasher LED for less than 1 second.
- To return to the previous pattern, apply 12 volts to pin 2 on the component side of the flasher LED for more than 1 second.
