ZZ2 ZW-FSD Plug & Play OE Light-Controller

Introduction

Thank you for purchasing a genuine Z-WAGZ unit, the simplest Plug & Play module for flashing OEM lights with a press of a button. This unit comes pre-programmed with 3 different light patterns and has options for disabling specific lights.

ZW-FSD Operation

1. Install the Z-WAGZ unit to the factory Body Control Module (BCM). Follow instructions on page 2 for more details and important information with this process.
2. Turn Ignition ON or start vehicle (Ignition must be ON or vehicle running for proper operation).
3. To activate Z-WAGZ:
   • Press and HOLD the high beam lever (5 seconds) OR
   • Press and HOLD the provided push button (3 seconds) OR
   • Send a 12V (+) signal to the blue wire (designed to be extended for OE up-fitter switches or any aftermarket toggle). For this input method, as long as the wire has 12V (+), the Z-WAGZ unit will stay active.
   Pattern 1 will begin to flash. Once pattern 1 begins, the cluster turn signal (indicators) will blink 1 time, indicating Pattern 1 has been selected. The LED on the unit will blink BLUE. See chart on page 4 for remaining pattern color indication.
4. To switch to Pattern 2: (Pattern 1 must be currently active)
   • Engage either turn signal, then press and HOLD the high beam lever once more (5 seconds). OR
   • Press & release the provided push button one time.
   The cluster turn signal (indicators) will blink twice indicating Pattern 2 has been selected. Repeat this process to switch to the next pattern.
5. To deactivate Z-WAGZ:
   • Press and HOLD the high beam lever (5 seconds) OR
   • Press and HOLD the provided push button (3 seconds) OR
   • Release 12V (+) signal to the blue wire (if connected this way) OR
   • Turn vehicle OFF.

General Notes:

• Vehicles equipped with LED lights should use LED patterns. Vehicles equipped with standard bulbs should use bulb patterns but may get away with LED patterns (although some consistency may be lost).
• Not all lights on the vehicle are necessarily used; some lights are not controllable via CAN data commands.
• Z-WAGZ will retain the last used pattern, even after being disconnected from the harness (if ever).
• Turn signals, headlights & reverse lights will override pattern flashing when used, until turned off again.
• Lights on the external mirrors will only flash if wired with turn signals from factory.
• 'Plow Mode', when active (INPUT 2), disables High & Low beam flashing and slows the pattern down so that the relay box (plow module) can keep up with the flashing (prevents overheating).

ZW-FSD Vehicle Module Installation

Follow these steps to install the ZW-FSD module:

1. On the passenger side of the truck, remove the weather stripping near the kick panel.
2. Remove the BCM access cover.
3. Release (4) clips and remove the right-hand side lower cowl trim panel to expose the BCM.
4. With the vehicle OFF: disconnect the (1) circled plug shown. Connect the male side of the provided T-Harness to the BCM and the removed, OE plug into the female side of the Z-WAGZ BCM harness. This connector can only fit in one place and connect in one way. Make sure the cam-lock is closed all the way and the connector is seated fully.
5. Connect the provided ground to the factory Ford ground location (indicated by the red arrow).
6. Connect the ZW-FSD unit to the 22-pin connector, tie-wrap the unit to another harness if desired.
7. Return to page (1) for operation instructions.

Wiring Diagram and Compatible Vehicles

I/O Harness Notes:

• OUTPUTS are 100mA MAX. Do NOT power anything requiring higher current with these outputs! Use relays or connect to trigger inputs only.
• RIGHT & LEFT OUTPUTS will mirror the OE RIGHT & LEFT lights respectively (when unit is active).

Harness Connections:

• GROUND (-)
• 12V (+) INPUT 1 (Activate lights)
• 12V (+) INPUT 2 (Plow Mode)*
• 12V (+) OUTPUT 1 (when active)
• 12V (+) OUTPUT 2 (RIGHT)
• 12V (+) OUTPUT 3 (LEFT)
• Push Button Activation

Ground Connection: Ground this wire to the factory FORD ground (located next to the BCM).

BCM Connection: Connect to OE BCM J2.

Compatible Vehicles:

DIP Switch Settings

Located on the back side of the unit is a bank of (6) dip switches. You will need a pick-tool to adjust them. All dip switches are LIVE; do not unplug the module to adjust.

*DIP 6 ON: For vehicles with separated Brake light and turn signal bulbs (separate housings, rear of vehicle).

*DIP 6 OFF: For vehicles with Brake light and turn signal bulbs combined into the same housing (same housing, rear of vehicle).

ZW-FSD Notes on DIP Settings:

• 'Plow Mode', when active (INPUT 2), disables High & Low beam flashing and slows the pattern down so that the relay box (plow module) can keep up with the flashing (prevents overheating). This should be enabled whenever a plow is connected. NOTE: this input must see 12V (+) before activating the Z-WAGZ for proper functionality.
• When high beam is ON (high beam priority), low beam will be OFF.
• When low beam is ON (low beam priority), high beam will stop flashing.
• If low beam priority fails, disable high beam flashing (DIP switch 1 ON).
• 'Strobe Mode' is disabled automatically if the vehicle has limitations with turn signal commands.
• When the vehicle is turned OFF, all flashing and unit will also deactivate.
• If Reverse camera shows up on screen when unit is active, DIP 3 (reverse) is enabled. Turn (3) OFF to disable reverse.
• High Beam Lever / External Button / INPUT 1 +12V requires ACC ON to function properly.
• When the unit is flashing, if both turn signal and brake lights are ON while the vehicle is braking, flip DIP 6.
• Priority lights (lights which when enabled from factory levers, stop flashing): HIGH BEAM / LOW BEAM / TURN SIGNALS / BRAKES / REVERSE.

Unit Components and Supported Lights

Unit Components:

• 22-Pin (power/data connections): Connects to the vehicle's wiring harness.
• DIP Switches (options): Located on the back for configuration.
• USB (updates): For potential firmware updates.
• 12-PIN push button I/O harness: Connects to the activation switch and other inputs/outputs.
• LED Status: Indicator light on the unit.

ZW-FSD Supported Lights:

FRONT LIGHTS

REAR LIGHTS

*NOTE: As new variants of vehicles are released over time, some lights may not flash due to manufacturer design changes (software or the wiring to the housings themselves). The chart above is accurate for vehicles the ZW-FSD was tested on.
