General Guidelines for Wiring the Pathway on a Vehicle
HIGH CURRENT ARCING: Do not connect this system to the vehicle battery
until ALL other electrical connections are made and you have verified that
no shorts exist. High current conductors can cause hazardous sparks or
burning wire, resulting in electrical fires.
DRILLING PRECAUTIONS: Before drilling holes, check the area into which
you plan to drill to ensure that you do not damage vehicle components. All
drilled holes should be deburred, and all sharp edges should be smoothed.
Additionally, all exterior drilled holes must be sealed with Motorcraft seam
sealer T-A-2-B or equivalent to prevent the potential exposure to carbon
monoxide or other potentially harmful fumes. Failure to observe this
warning could cause serious injury or death.
Before permanently installing the Pathway system, plan all wire routings and select
the mounting locations for the siren amplifier/relay module. Read and understand
all instructions included with related equipment before installing it. Ensure that all
wiring is protected from damage during normal operation of the vehicle and away
from any sharp edges and screws. Splice joints should be soldered or crimped with
butt connectors and properly insulated. Splice joints that will be exposed to the
elements should be adequately sealed and insulated. All wires that are extended
should not be a lesser gauge than their original mating wire. Make sure that
connections are easily accessible for assembly and service.
