Wire Disconnection Instructions

November 1, 2017

 

NOTE: These instructions should be presented to the FordeBay logo dealer to alert them of this important step.

 

All FordeBay logo Police Interceptor Utility vehicles within model years 2013-2017 should have the repair work described in FordeBay logo Customer Satisfaction Campaign 17B25 performed by a FordeBay logo dealer.  However, prior to having such repair work performed, please disconnect the existing cable/wires as described below. This existing cable/wires will be reused to power the new Citadel EZ product.

 

5-Step instructions to disconnect the existing Citadel product.

Step-1. Disconnect the vehicle battery eliminating power to the Citadel product.

 

Step-2. Raise lift gate to access the rear head liner. Carefully pull up the lift gate water seal rubber extrusion to expose the edge of the head liner. Pull down the edge of the head liner to expose the electrical cable or wires powering the Citadel as shown in Figure 1. If the unit is a CELS or CB version, there will be a jacketed 3/8” diameter cable as shown in Figure 2. If the unit is an Independent Flashing version there will be individual wires as shown in Figure 3.

    

Step-3.  Cut the existing cable or wires as close to the opening in the vehicle’s flexible rubber conduit as possible to leave as much original cable length for the new installation. The flexible rubber conduit can be seen in Figure 4 below. Strip back a portion of the cable jacket on the CELS/CB version. On the CELS/CB and Independent Flashing versions, tape the ends of all of the individual wires to prevent electrical short circuits as shown in Figures 5-6 below.

 

Step-4. Push the head liner back into position making sure the retaining magnets make full contact. Then reinstall the rubber extrusion back over the edge of the head liner. Ensure that the rubber extrusion is seated flush to the surface and sealed with FordeBay logo sealant (TA-2-B), if required, to fully seal the interfaces. Install rubber extrusion over the headliner seal.

 

Step-5. Reconnect vehicle battery power.
