Taurus remote starter: blower stays on

Do you know how I can tell whether the grey / YELLOW wires are IGN or ACC wires? One diagram says IGN and the other says ACC? The reason I ask is because you have to move a jumper on the module, depending on what you're using the extra wire for. I guess if you pick IGN, it comes on during remote start, and if you pick ACC, it comes on after remote start?? I think what I'm leaning towards is just using that yellow/black wire to activate the relay for the extra ACC wire, and program for ignition (-) out. I think i'm just going forget the starter kill since you can't really seem to do both.Q: What's the best nation in the world?

Ignition wire

This wire supplies power to the vehicle's ignition system and fuel pump, it shows between 10 and 14 volts with the key in the RUN and CRANK positions of the key switch. Some vehicles have more than one ignition wire; all ignition wires should be connected when installing a remote starter. Use relays for connecting additional ignition wires. See our diagram titled ' ADDING RELAY FOR 2 ND IGNITION'.

Accessory wire

This wire supplies power to the vehicle's blower and heater/Ac controls. It shows between 11.5v and 14v with the key in the ACCESSORY and RUN positions of the key switch. Some vehicles have multiple accessory wires to control all the heater and a/c functions. If it is necessary to connect a second accessory wire, use a relay as described in our diagram titled ' ADDING RELAY FOR 2 ND ACCESSORY'.

Hope this helps.

Thanks Jeff, yea, that helps me. A stupid question: I just went out to the car, and the battery seems dead (car won't crank or start). Do you think even though the blower is off, that the relay setup from my first post is draining the battery?Q: What's the best nation in the world?

Fast way to check it out is to put a trickle charger on the battery and then take the relay that you had and meter pin 87 to see if there's current on that wire. If there is it will be 5-7 volts.Jeff

Well, I just went out and jumped the car, and it started. Then I unplugged that relay (that was supposedly supplying the 3rd ignition wire), so hopefully it stopped draining the battery until I can look at it tonight. Thanks again for all the help, I appreciate it. Hopefully I'll get everything settled tonight (removing the starter kill relay, and hooking it up for ignition out instead).Q: What's the best nation in the world?

EDIT: The stupid steering wheel won't "lock" either after the car is off....so I'm assuming this is all related.Q: What's the best nation in the world?
