Refer to Figure A for Step 1 (For both Bronco and Ranger)
Step 1: Before installing your aFe POWER module, you will have to place your vehicle’s ECU in sleep
mode. In order to do this, you will need to do the following:
•If the engine is cold: open the hood, close the doors, lock the car and wait 30 seconds.
•If the engine is warm: open the hood, close the doors, lock the car and wait 20 minutes.
•If the engine is warm and you can’t wait 20 minutes: disconnect the battery.
Note: Do NOT open doors or start vehicle while one of the sensors is disconnected. This
could create a check engine light

Step 30: Select a location to mount the Scorcher BLUE Power Module. We recommend that the module be
mounted in a place that is dry, away from extreme heat and moving parts.
Step 31: For our installation, we found the best location to be on the side of the air box located on the driver
side of the vehicle. Secure the Scorcher Blue module in this location using the supplied velcro.
Step 32: Connect the aFe POWER harness to the Scorcher Blue module, making sure that the retaining tab
clicks into place.
Step 33: Route the harness wires and secure them using the included zip ties for a neat installation.
Step 34: Reinstall the engine cover and the two 10mm nuts.
The doors can now be opened to install the LED Switch. (Optional if using the Bluetooth App.)
