BBK-FORD
Ford Interceptor Steering Wheel Control Module
The new Ford Interceptor Police Package vehicles now come optionally equipped with
integrated controls on the steering wheel to operate four external devices. Because
these controls have a “low-current” output, most devices will require external relays
that can handle a higher current. This module provides single, integrated “easy-to-
install” solid-state module that connects to the vehicle’s factory-installed harness and
allows the steering wheel controls to activate four 10-amp outputs.
• Both ends of the harness should come with your new Ford Interceptor (may be pre-
installed on the factory wired harness located under the center of the dash or may be
loose).
• Complete wiring & access details are available from Ford.
• Mounting in the trunk near the other electronic devices is highly recommended.
Stand Alone Default Install (no integration with siren controller)
• Make the connection to your new BBK-FORD as shown in the diagram above, ignoring
the “Optional” siren inputs.
• There are three Input Power terminals. Depending upon the current need for your
devices, they may not all be needed. In addition, the gauge of wire run to the power input
terminal will depend upon the length of the run and the current you need to supply.
• When you press the buttons on the steering wheel the corresponding light output
associated with that button will illuminate the indicator LED on the BBK-FORD module
and the output will have battery voltage applied to it.
• Each output has a maximum output of 10 amps.
Installation Utilizing Siren Controls (Siren “OR” Function)
The BBK-FORD can be used in conjunction with a siren that has light control functionality such
that the connected devices can be controlled by either the steering wheel controls “OR” the
siren controls.
• Make the connections described on the previous page under the Stand Alone Default
Install section.
• Connect the light outputs from your siren to the corresponding Siren Input terminals on
your BBK-FORD.
• These siren inputs are feedback protected. (i.e. steering wheel activation of that output
does NOT send power back through the siren input.)
Siren Control Only Lighting
Because the siren inputs are feedback protected,
you can optionally connect lights to the Siren Light
Outputs that will be controlled ONLY by the siren.
Lights connected as shown to the right will NOT be
activated by the steering wheel controls.
Progressive Control DIP Switches
There are 4 DIP switches located the BBK-FORD that
will allow you to set the 4
th steering wheel button to
also enable light outputs 1, 2, or 3, along with 4. Note:
This will not be displayed on your vehicle cluster
display.
