Hello;
I'm preparing to install a DEI Viper 5301 Remote Start Keyless Entry module in my 1997 F150. The truck is an automatic with a gas engine, power locks, but no factory keyless entry. I've just have a few questions that I'd like to get a better understanding for.

1. Can anyone verify for me that there is a Black/Blue positive door trigger wire in the 97 F150?
2. For anyone familiar with the DEI Viper line of products, the first of six wiring harnesses that come with this unit has a Remote Start / Turbo Timer Activation Input. Do I have to do anything with this wire? If I understand it correctly, out of the box it is programmed as a simple on/off switch.
3. The third of six wiring harnesses that come with this unit is an 8-pin Heavy Gauge Remote Start Harness and is depicted below as numbered items 1-8. The second group of 8 items shows the truck wires that I intend to connect to the wiring harness. For example, Pin 2, the Red/White wire, of the harness will be connected to the Black/Green wire from the trucks ignition switch harness. I collected the information below from this site, but found some conflicting information. Can anyone verify that I'm heading down the right track? Should I be connecting something to pin 1, the pink wire, of the harness? Likewise, there are a number of posts that talk about this particular group of wires in the truck, but I wasn't able to pull anything consistent from those posts as far as which wire is Ignition 2 or 3, or if they exist at all. Any clarification would be appreciated.

Heavy Gauge Remote Start Harness(H3), 8-pin Connector

1. - Pink - Ignition 1 Input/Output, Connect to vehicle's ignition wire, supplies voltage to the vehicle's ignition and the ignition feed for the remote start.
2. - Red/White - Fused (30A) Ignition 2 / Flex Relay Input 87, This wire is the polarity feed for the ignition 2 / Flex relay.
3. - Orange - Accessory Output, Connect this wire to to the accessory wire that powers the climate control system.
4. - Violet - Starter Output, Connect this wire to the starter wire in the vehicle.
5. - Red - Fused (30A) Ignition 1 Input, This wire s the polarity feed for the Ignition 1 relay.
6. - Pink/White - Ignition 2 / Flex Relay Output 30, Factory programmed as Ignition 2, can be reprogrammed.
7. - Pink/Black - Flex Relay Input 87a key side of Flex Relay, Used when ignition switch isolation is necessary.
8. - Red/Black - Fused (30A) Accessory/Starter Input, This wire is the polarity feed to the accessory and starter relays.

Module Harness to 97 Ford F150 Automatic

1. - Pink - Ignition 1 Input/Output -----------> Nothing
2. - Red/White - Fused (30A) Ignition 2 ------> Black/Green - Ignition 3
3. - Orange - Accessory Out ----------------> Red/Black - Ignition 2
4. - Violet - Starter Out ---------------------> Red/lt. Blue - Starter
5. - Red - Fused (30A) Ignition 1 In ----------> Blue/Green - Ignition 1
6. - Pink/White - Ignition 2 ------------------> Nothing
7. - Pink/Black - Flex Relay In 87a -----------> Nothing
8. - Red/Black - Fused (30A) Acc/Starter In --> Gray/Yellow - Accessory

 

No responses, did I ask to many questions? I can go out with my multi-meter to help narrow things down regarding which wires in the truck to use, but any suggestion on how pin 1 on the modules wiring harness is used would be helpful.

Can I assume that Ignition 1 and Ignition 2 on the modules wiring harness should be connected to truck wires that show voltage when the key is in position 1 or 2 respectively?

 

Twheeler, maybe this will help you.

Hey Slammedsplash;

Thanks for taking the time to share this. It looks a lot like something kcautosound posted, but yours has the window wire colors; which is helpful. I didn't want to have to spend a couple hours out in the cold figuring the details out, but it looks like that's going to be the case. Thanks again!
