Relay and Control Modules

Relay and Control Modules

The only standard equipment relay used in the exterior lighting system is part of the park lamp circuit on Explorer vehicles. The relay is non-functional except with certain options.

If a Ranger or Explorer is equipped with autolamp/exit delay or anti-theft systems, relays are used to turn the exterior lights on independent of the headlamp switch (11654). The headlamp and parking lamp relays can be controlled by the autolamp/exit delay module located in the rearview mirror. For anti-theft, the same relays can be controlled by the Remote Anti-Theft Personality (RAP) module.

Aerostar models do not use relays or modules in the exterior lighting system.
