Delayed Accessory Power
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2014 Lincoln MKX and 2014 Ford Edge. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The Body Control Module (BCM) controls voltage to the power windows, the audio system and the power roof opening panel (if equipped) with the accessory delay relay. The BCM activates the accessory delay relay whenever the ignition is in the RUN or the ACC position, or when the ignition is changed from RUN or ACC to the OFF position and the LH and RH front doors are closed.
The BCM deactivates the accessory delay relay when:
- the LH front door is ajar and the ignition is in the OFF or key-out position.
- the RH front door is ajar and the ignition is in the OFF or key-out position.
- ten minutes have elapsed since the ignition was changed from ACC or RUN to the OFF position.
