 ELECTRICAL WIRING
POWER TAKE-OFF CIRCUIT INSTALLATION
The Body Builder must provide a PTO Circuit to alert the PCM to PTO operation. Failure to provide this circuit
may result in erroneous emission codes, and inadvertent illumination of the “Service Engine Soon” light during
PTO operation.
Circuits 294 (WH-LB) is located in the center of the instrument panel, labeled “Power Take-Off Circuit” and the
circuit 322 (LB-Y) is located to the right of the parking brake labeled “Customer Pass-Thru/PTO and CTO
Circuits” (see Figure A). They are near the customer pass-thru circuits, and are blunt-cut with shrink wrap
tubing over the cut ends. They are easier to access from the front of the instrument panel (IP) by removing
the access panel below the steering column (4 quarter-turn fasteners).
Splice circuit 294 (WH/LB) to the body builder provided wire that connects to the positive side of the PTO
indicator switch or PTO control relay. Splice circuit 322 (LB-Y) to the body builder provided wire that connects
to the positive (switched) side of the PTO indicator light. (See Figure C1). In electrically-actuated PTO
systems, must be relay isolated from the circuit containing the solenoid or PCM DAMAGE COULD RESULT
(See Figure C2).

 Power Distribution Junction Box

For the 2002 Model Year, Super Duty F-Series (F-250/350/450/550) vehicles have had extensive electrical
changes. All fuse numbering has changed with the combination of the Power Distribution Box and the
Junction Box into the Power Distribution Junction Box (PDJB). The PDJB is found under the dash, below the
steering wheel and behind the modesty panel. Another change has been the addition of relays to Trailer Tow
Stop/Turn Circuits 52 (Yellow) and 64 (Dark Green). This change will require SUB installers, who have used
the trailer tow connector to connect their SUB, to rethink their connection. The relay isolation of circuits 52
and 64 require the connection of some load to the Ford Stop/Turn connectors or the turn signals will flash as
if a bulb were burned out. Either connect your SUB Stop/Turn signals to the Ford Stop/Turn signal connectors
or connect a resistive load to each of the connects.

 Changes To Circuits

Check your fuses and circuits for the 2002 Model Year. DO NOT ASSUME that there are no changes for the
2002 Model Year F-250/350/450/550 vehicles. The DRL control circuits are new for 2002. The elimination of
the GEM has also brought about many electrical changes. Check your circuits and your fuse numbers and if
you have questions call the Ford Truck Body Builders Advisory Service at (877) 840-4338 or E-mail us at
bbasqa@ford.com. Contact us before applying power to any circuit you are unsure about. This may take more
time now, but it will save you from damaging the Ford vehicle’s electrical system. Take the time to contact us
and you will save more than time.
