Ford / Mercury / Lincoln Electronic Ignition Control Module/Unit Wiring Connections/Diagram with a 3-Wire Inductive or Hall Effect Proximity Sensor

This ignition system operates with full 12 volts. Can be used with virtually any magnetic pickup coil or proximity sensor and ignition coil, regardless of the ohms resistance or voltage output, and will produce a strong spark so the engine will idle smooth and accelerate quickly to full speed (wide open throttle) with no hesitation or misfire. IMPORTANT: The coil and/or module may burn up if the ignition switch is left on for more than 5 minutes with the engine not running.

• Connect the Black and Blue wires on sensor to the Orange and Purple wires on module. It shouldn't matter how the Black and Blue wires are connected to the Orange and Purple wires, but if the engine will not accelerate, reverse these two wire connections.
• Always connect the Blue wire on the sensor to the engine/chassis ground (battery negative (–) post). The proximity sensor will not work if the blue wire is not also grounded.
• Connect the Green wire on module to ignition coil negative (–) terminal. For competition pulling - if you're using the grounding-type of killswitch, connect the ungrounded wire from the killswitch to this terminal. Or for a generator engine, connect this terminal with a semiconductor rectifier diode to "excite" or temporarily energize the field windings in the generator.
• Connect the Brown wire on the sensor to the Red wire on the module, and to the ignition coil positive (+) terminal, and to the ignition switch (battery positive (+) post).
• The Black wire on the module must be connected to the engine/chassis ground (battery negative (–) post).
• (Optional) The White wire connects to the "I" (Ignition) terminal on a self-grounding 4-terminal starter solenoid to give the coil temporary full 12 volts for a stronger spark for faster cold engine start up. If the White wire is connected directly to the coil full-time and the engine is ran for a long period of time, the coil could overheat and eventually burn up. (The module does NOT have a built-in timing retard.)
• Some proximity sensors have an LED (Light Emitting Diode) on the rear of unit. If the proximity sensor is wired correctly, the LED will illuminate when in close proximity to the detectable target.
