On the BOA 265B system, they say I need to "power this wire" on the third ignition wire on my 97 F150 w/ Rear only ABS.

They don't say what "power this wire" means. Do they just want me to jump that wire to a 12v constant? What does "power this wire" mean?

Do I need an additional relay? Do they want me to jump it to the 2nd ignition output?

What the weirdest part is, is that the 4-wheel ABS cars DON'T have this third ignition wire. Is it totally necessary?

Obviously, Christmas Eve their tech support isn't available (I was on hold for 20 minutes before I gave up)

Anyone know what I should do? I wanted to finish this today. I was going to surprise my dad with it.

Why couldn't this be as easy as the Subaru's I'm used to?

I did a little searching, and it appears that Ignition #3 powers the rear ABS module, while #1 does the primary coil, and #2 is the blower motor.

Why does the rear ABS module need to be switched with the remote start? Won't it turn on when the key is turned on?

Once the key is in the ignition and in the ON position, the ABS module will power-up and the remote start computer won't have any influence on ignition or on blower motor control or ABS control, right?

Power it how?

Jump it off of the Ignition #2 control for the blower motor?

A relay with 1 input, 2 output, and wire that one to IGN2 and IGN3? Input side off of the control module?

What's wrong with splitting the IGN2 wire off of the control module to both IGN2 and IGN3?

For the relay, a 12v 30A single pole dual throw relay will work right? I think they have those at Radio Shack. I want a normally open relay I suppose, designed for continious use?

I'm used to wiring on my Subarus. Much easier than a Ford.

When I wired up the Hella500's on my Forester, Hella included a split wire for power to the lights.

Could I just do that with a single pole, single throw relay, and split the output to IGN2 and IGN3?

I guess I'd power the relay off of the "output to accessory circuit" portion on the control module? Then just run IGN2out to the input side of the relay, and ground the opposite side.

Sounds easy enough... now I just need another relay.

I'm having some issues installing the 265B on my dad's 97 F150.

I've got the harness hooked up to the ignition bits, but the keyless entry seems to be giving me some trouble.

The car has "Type C" locks, since it has no factory keyless entry.

I can't locate the wires necessary for install. I've got the power lock/unlock wires, but not the lock/unlock motor wires. I can't track down the wires coming through the door, as they are totally hidden by an outrageous number of metal plates and whatnot.

I can access the power lock/unlock wires through the door panel and I can run wires into the cab, I'm not concerned with that.

But I need the lock/unlock motor wires, and I can't find them. Anyone have any ideas?

I'm pretty disappointed with the design of the BOA system.
