Plug & Play, OE Light-Controller for Ford vehicles!

Activation Switch and I/O Harness

ZW-FRD BCM T-Harness
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-FRD 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: o Press and HOLD the high beam lever (5 sec) OR o Press and HOLD the provided push button (3 sec) OR o 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) o Engage either turn signal, then press and HOLD the high beam lever once more (5 sec). OR o 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: o Press and HOLD the high beam lever (5 sec) OR o Press and HOLD the provided push button (3 sec) OR o Release 12v (+) signal to the blue wire (if connected this way) OR o 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). · PATTERN 4 is reserved for Ford Lightning vehicles only. Any other vehicle using this pattern will appear erratic.

1. Locate the BCM unit. The chart below indicates the BCM

location in various vehicles.

2. With the vehicle OFF: disconnect the (2) circled plugs

shown. Connect the male side of each T-Harness to the

BCM and the (removed) plugs into the female side of the

Z-WAGZ BCM harnessing. These connectors can only fit in one place and connect in one way.

3. Connect the Z-WAGZ BCM unit to the 22-pin connector,

tie-wrap the unit to another harness if desired.

4. Return to page (1) for operation instructions.

- `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). - 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.
