Delayed Accessory Power

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2015 Lincoln MKZ. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The accessory delay relay (non-serviceable) in the BCM controls a voltage signal to the panoramic roof opening panel primary motor allowing panoramic roof opening panel operation. The BCM activates the accessory delay relay whenever the ignition is in the RUN or ACC positions, or when the ignition is changed from RUN or ACC to the OFF position and both front doors are closed.

The BCM deactivates the accessory delay relay when:

either front door is or becomes ajar and the ignition is in the OFF or key out position.
10 minutes have elapsed since the ignition was changed from the RUN or ACC position to the OFF position (with both front doors closed).
