Make lights flash

[crworkman]

Hello,

I own a (non police package) 2013 Ford Explorer. I have recently started doing Funeral Escorts. I have installed after market lights, sirens, and horn but would like to make my lights flash, except I do not want to install hideaways.

I would rather figure out a way to make headlights, turn lights, hazards and breaklights (and the lights on the side mirrors) flash (or wigwag).

Can anyone help me with this, thanks. Chad

I believe that SGT1411 is our resident police expert. I would contact him.

Welcome to the Forum crworkman.:wavey:
I would be very helpful if you added the model of your Explorer to your peofile so that it shows in the left margin when you post. Not all models are the same.

The retail Explorers have different wiring but they may still be able to work this out.

Ford uses a company called InterMotive in CA to talk through CANBUS system to flash lights. Its not like the old electrical architecture where you just tap into the + lead of a headlight.

Also check out the Ford Fleet web page and see the Police Modifier's Guide that gives clear directions for lighting.
