Wiring The Co-Pilot For 1997 models E350 models 

Red Wire (12volts)-Pin #1 

Locate the 

Red

 wire coming from the vehicle’s PCM Pin #

71.  

Tap this wire with the 

red       

Co-Pilot wire by soldering.  Shield the tap from the elements. 

Black Wire- Ground (GND) – PIN #9 

Locate the 

Black

 wire coming from the vehicle’s PCM Pin #

51

.  Tap this wire with the 

black

 

Co-Pilot wire by soldering.  Shield the tap from the elements. 

Green Wire- Vehicle Speed Sensor (VSS) – PIN #17 

Locate the VSS (Vehicle Speed Sensor) wire.  This 

Gray w/ Black

 stripe wire can be found at 

the PCM at pin #

58

 Run the green wire from the Co-Pilot module to the VSS wire and cut off 

any excess, but leave some slack.  Solder the Green Co-Pilot wire to the VSS wire and protect 

from elements, this is the most common install problem with wiring
