ultra start in new vehicles

Thanks for knowing when to have one installed for you. We get a wiring diagram and use our Multimeter. We rely on our experience and the experience of others (co-workers, 12volt's install bay etc) Brent Haugen

techservices.audiovox.com (you can sign up for a free account) has wire colors, but not pictures. There are some more expensive paid programs that have lots of nice pictures, like AstroChart, from the company that makes AstroStart remote starters. The Escape is a little harder than your pickup, but it's not that much harder. Yes, there are a few panels to take off, and the keys have an anti-theft transponder chip in them. But, there are only three places you need to go for all your wiring: Steering column harness (ignition wires), driver's doorsill (brake, locks, door trigger), and then a little farther back along the doorsill toward the rear of the car (parking lights). The panel under the steering wheel pulls off (then unscrew a metal knee bolster behind it), there are just a couple of screws under the steering column shroud (and then it unsnaps), and the driver's doorsill and kick panel you could pretty easily figure out how to take off yourself. Again, it's a little harder than your Super Duty, and you might be right to leave it to a professional, but I wouldn't let just the panel removal scare you. That part's pretty easy.
