Special Rain Tracker Installation Notes for this vehicle:

NOTE: The Ford factory drawing shows the 2001 as the TWM wiper system
but we have had a customer say it is an LZM wiper system. If it is in
fact the LZM wiper system, use the 02 - 03 Ford F-150 installation
instruction.

Ground for this model should be available at BRN/WHT
wire coming from the switch. If available, use a
multi-meter to confirm that this is ground.
Otherwise, find a suitable chassis ground.

This is a non depressed-park wiper system.
