They do not---in fact there are nothing but warning labels inside the box, Ravelco seems to rely on their "factory training" and the installer's ability to improvise which circuits would be interrupted.
My thoughts were to break the starter circuit wiring found behind the Central Junction Box, aka inside cabin fuse box. I would also extend two wires to the far right/passenger side tapping into the fuel inertia cut-off switch.
If either of those circuits are interrupted and there's a siren blaring while the crooks are inside the vehicle they'd most likely be more interested in leaving the scene than continue their assault.
Boywonder did find a way to temporarily find the way to remove the CJB for access to the back where the starter relay circuit fuse wiring can be cut and the Ravelco spliced in---thanks once again for sharing that with me.
BTW I have mentally devised a poor man's Ravelco device utilizing Ford wiring harness connectors. A quick trip to the salvage yard with a few tools and knowledge where to look on any E-Series would give you the parts needed.
Do keep in mind this is a project under development in my head at the moment however I might be able to make a mock up of sorts showing how it would work. If it goes as I think it would require probably a bit of wiring and splicing knowledge/experience would be most helpful.
It would NOT be as pretty as a real Ravelco but would work just as well if carefully concealed from everyone but the driver/owner.
