Special Rain Tracker Installation Notes for this vehicle:

Use the instructions included in the Rain Tracker kit until you get to step 5a. "Make the interface
connections." At that point, use these instrctions along with the diagram that can be printed above.
Return to the general instructions when the interface connections has been completed.

Some models and years may vary slightly in wire colors. Confirm wire colors with service
guide, and/or with with a multimeter.

All wiper system wires, except +12V, are available at the wiper switch. They
can usually be accessed by removing one or two access panels (Kick Panels) and,
possibly, the shrouds surrounding the steering column.

FIND +12V
For Rain Tracker power (+12V), locate a source of power hot in accessory
or run. Power source should be min. 12-16ga. wire on a 15-25A circuit. This
can be one of the +12V sources as shown on the diagram, or some other accessory
source. The cigarette lighter is often a good +12V source.

2009 - 2010 FORD ECONOLINE VAN
We do not know the exact wire colors for the Ford Econoline Series for 2009 and 2010. We received a diagram for the 2011 from a customer and it shows Ford Binary Color Scheme 7 (C7). Since this is the case the wiper system will be the same for 09 - 10 but the colors could be different. If the colors for the 2009 or 2010 do not match these instructions, please see Ford Binary Color Scheme 7

The Rain Tracker wiper control system works in parallel with the existing wiper system, so the existing manual control modes are not affected. This page generated by vehicle data file name: ford_binary_c2.veh
