The mating connector is provided on the end of the power distribution
connector. The vehicle modifier can either purchase pins for the mating
connector and install them on the wires before they are inserted into the
connector, thereby avoiding any splicing, or purchase an optional power
pigtail for the interface. The power pigtail (P/N 14A411) plugs into the
power distribution connector and provides blunt cut wires ready for
splicing by the vehicle modifier.
See thePolice Interceptor Modifier Guidefor more details.
Rear power point - police
The rear power point is a battery access port for police auxiliary equipment
mounted in the trunk. It is capable of supplying 80 amps of battery power.
The front power distribution box (PDB) contains two 50 amp fuses, which
protects the power point. Battery access is via two studs contained in an
enclosure, mounted in the trunk, on the right side fender support. The
terminal with the red wires is the battery positive, and the terminal with
the black wire is the ground. Remove both fuses in the front PDB before
removing the cover to the rear power point. Ensure load devices can be
turned off, and are switched off when reinserting fuses.
WARNING:Under no circumstance should the rear power point
cover be removed without first pulling the two fuses in the front
power distribution box. Removing cover without pulling fuses could
result in an electrical hazard, and result in personal injury. Shut off
load devices before inserting fuses.

Headlight flashers (wig-wags) - police
An interfacing connector is provided on the headlight circuit for use of
the headlights as alternating flashers (wig-wags). The connector is
located in front of the radiator. A protective cap is attached to prevent
contaminants from entering the connector when a wig-wag module is not
installed. When installing a headlight flasher (wig-wag) module, remove
the connector and tape it to the wigwag module harness. This will ensure
that the cap is available to be reattached if the wig-wag module is
removed. For additional information, refer to theCrown Victoria
Wiring Diagram Manual.
If your vehicle is equipped with one of the optional Police Interceptor
Equipment Packages, the connector will already be used by the supplied
wig-wag module that comes with the option package.
Note:Use of the wig-wag feature overrides normal operation of the high
beam headlights, including flash-to-pass. However, the low beam
headlights will remain on and unaffected.
HEAVY-DUTY SUSPENSION - POLICE
This option includes certain heavy-duty components that contribute to
the vehicle’s stability and road handling capability under extremes of
operation. The police vehicle has a heavy duty steering gear, extra
control shock absorbers and heavy-duty front and rear stabilizer bars.
COOLERS
It is strongly recommended that auxiliary devices such as lights not be
installed at the grille. Such devices will reduce airflow through the grille
and could potentially impact the cooling system performance.
Oil cooler - police
The 4.6L engine has an engine oil cooler to maintain engine oil
temperatures.
Engine and transmission coolers
External transmission and power steering coolers are located behind the
grille and in front of the radiator. It is strongly recommended that
auxiliary devices such as lights and sirens not be installed in the air path
of these coolers as they will impact cooling system performance.

Calibrated speedometer - police
Deviations from true road speeds are minimized by a calibrated
speedometer head which gives both miles-per-hour (0–140 mph) and
kilometer-per-hour (0–222 km/h) readings. The speedometer head
assembly accuracy is
2 mph (
3 km/h) over the entire range (at 70°F
[21°C]). The “certified calibration” applies to the head assembly only and
does not apply to the indicated speed of the system, which is affected by
variations in vehicle loading, tire inflation pressures, tire rolling radii and
driveline ratios.
Red/White map light - police (if equipped)
Your vehicle may be equipped with a red/white map light located in the
headliner between the driver and front seat passenger. A three-position
switch provides either white or night-vision red options. When the rocker
switch is in the center position, the lamp is off. Pressing the left side
(white dot) makes the lamp operate in the white light mode. Pressing
the right side (red dot) makes the lamp operate in the night-vision red
mode.
Mobile communication systems
The Federal Communications Commission regulates the use of mobile
communication systems (such as two-way radios, telephones and theft
alarms) that are equipped with radio transmitters. If you install this
equipment in your vehicle, you should comply with those rules and a
qualified technician should install the equipment. Ford Motor Company
vehicles are in compliance with FCC regulations (CFR 47 Part 15) and
SAE J551d for radiated electromagnetic emissions.
Mobile communication systems may harm the operation of your vehicle,
particularly if they are not properly designed for automotive use or not
properly installed. For example, when operated, such systems may cause
the engine to stumble or stall and may affect 4R70W transmission
operation. In addition, such systems may themselves be damaged or their
operation affected by operating your vehicle. (Citizen band [CB]
transceivers, garage door openers and other transmitters whose power
output is 5 watts or less will not ordinarily affect your vehicle’s
operation.)
Because we have no control over the installation, design or manufacture
of such systems, Ford cannot assume responsibility for any adverse
effects or damage that may result if you use this equipment.
Malfunction of aftermarket electronic equipment should be resolved by
the equipment manufacturer.

Aftermarket equipment installation
Ford has developed aPolice Interceptor Modifier Guideto assist the
vehicle modifier in safely installing police equipment into the vehicle.
The guide provides detailed information on the location of key vehicle
components that must be untouched and warnings for other areas where
caution must be exercised. The Modifier Guide is available for
downloading, free of charge, from www.fleet.ford.com.
When installing aftermarket equipment, 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.
Also, do not make electrical connections to vehicle electrical systems not
specifically designed for aftermarket equipment installations. Refer to the
“Wiring Diagram Manual” for electrical system information.
Do not install any components into the powertrain control module
(PCM) or PCM harness. Connecting into this system may affect engine
and transmission operation.
As an example: connection of aftermarket electrical equipment into the
brake light circuit or any other circuit which is connected to the PCM,
anti-lock brake computer, airbag system or any other vehicle system
which will cause vehicle malfunction.
WARNING:Contact during a crash with aftermarket equipment
in a vehicle can result in a personal injury.
WARNING:Installation of prisoner barriers may increase the
risk of injury to front seat occupants if the vehicle is impacted
from the rear at high speeds. This risk should be balanced, by the law
enforcement agency, against the risk of injury to the Officer associated
with prisoner transport.
Trunk Pack™ and trunk loading
WARNING:Ford recommends that police equipment be both
secured and laterally aligned. Hard, stiff or sharp objects,
especially when not secured or properly located, pose a risk to the fuel
tank and back seat occupants in the event of a high speed rear impact.
After-market organizers that do not adequately deform in rear-impacts
can themselves become injury-producing objects. When locating,
securing and mounting police equipment, please review theTrunk
Equipment Mounting Guide,available on the www.cvpi.com website,
which provides recommended fastener mounting types and locations.

3. A firm strike on the cover (about 20 lbft [89 N•m] of force) will
deploy the system any time the key or engine is turned on.
In the event of a manual deployment, nozzles will deploy to near ground
level and the underbody of the vehicle will be covered with suppressant
fluid. The suppressant contains no hazardous materials (but may cause
minor skin or eye irritation) and can be readily cleaned up by flushing
the underbody with water (or soap and water). Manual deployment
should have no adverse affect on vehicle handling; however, caution
should be exercised in moving the vehicle as ground clearance will be
compromised by the deployed nozzles. Because of reduced ground
clearance, the vehicle should not be driven through an automatic car
wash with nozzles in the deployed condition.
The fire suppression system is a single use system - all major
components will have to be replaced in the event of a manual
deployment.
Figure A
The approved ISO symbol for fire suppression is shown in Figure A. This
symbol is printed on the manual activation switch and on the diagnostic
telltale on the instrument cluster.
The system automatically performs a diagnostic check self check and
momentarily lights the cluster lamp when the key is turned on. If the
diagnostic lamp stays on refer to the appropriate sections of the Ford
service manual for further diagnostic and service procedures.
The system is active any time the key or engine is turned on following
the diagnostic check.
The system has been designed and tested to withstand a 75 mph
(120 km/h) 50% off-set rear impact by Taurus-sized vehicle. However, in
some crashes, including very high-energy crashes, the fire suppression
system could be so damaged by the crash forces that it cannot deploy.
Like any vehicle component, the fire suppression system cannot
withstand any and all crashes. No vehicle can eliminate the risk of fires.
You should not consider the vehiclefireproofbecause it is equipped
with a fire suppression system.
