I have the color codes from here, but I cannot find the wires coming from the ignition that are the ones listed on the diagram here on the 12 volt..The vehicle is a 1990 Bronco II , which is the same as a Ranger for that year both made by Ford.. There are four wires listed and I can only find the Yellow Constant ... Then it tells me I need a Red and Light Green, Red and Light Blue, and then a Gray and Yellow ( which I can't find ) ..the weird thing is that there is a Pink wire with Green striping in a bundle next to the Yellow and also a Red and somewhat Dark Green, and a  Gray wire all together.. These are thick lower gauge wires that Do Not go direct to the ignition in the steering column, but are behind the steering column and go towards the Stereo Area of Dash.. The 1990 Ford Ranger, not Bronco II diagram has these wires as the ones I need to T into for the Remote Start, but I wonder if these are the correct ones since they don't go into the ignition directly.   One other problem is getting to the Black w blue stripe wire for the door pin.. The last thing on the not sure of list is that the Parking lights has two Brown wires coming from the switch and the remote start says to connect to The brown wire..so which one?  The two are a large gauge and a smaller gauge Brown wire and not sure which one to connect to for Park Light Flash..The Remote Start is an Ultra made for Manual Xmissions..I am an electrician/crewchief  on an AH-64 Apache, so I have a little  knowledge of ""basic electronics ""...Thanks for the help!

This info from AudioVox

 Battery             YELLOW  (+)                        IGNITION SWITCH HARNESS  

 Ignition 1          RED / LIGHT GREEN  (+)        IGNITION SWITCH HARNESS  
 Accessory 1     GRAY / YELLOW  (+)             IGNITION SWITCH HARNESS  
 Starter 1          RED / LIGHT BLUE  (+)           IGNITION SWITCH HARNESS

Bottom line is these are all guides and are sometimes wrong.  It is best to

use a Digital Multi Meter to locate and verify all wires.

Here is alink to Bulldog Security for their guide :  http://www.bulldogsecurity.com/bdnew/vehiclewiringdiagrams.asp

Time to get the DMM out and start testing wires.

No one is going to tell you, I don't think I've ever gone in knowing what the wire colours were I ALWAYS test.
Spark chase? wth is that?
Listen to Kreg and Smokeman they are offering you the best advice you're going to get.
By the way your wire descriptions are wrong it's RED / light blue not red and light blue. Very confusing.

thanks for the help..I will get the DMM and test the wires... ""Spark Chasing"" is a Military Term used that basically means test a circuit..

Thanks for that info, I hope it means passively via the key rather than using a power probe.

tresvatos,  If you go to the download section of this site. download the install manual for the Viper 5701 and in it starting on page 13 is a section on finding the wires you need, (How to test for them and verify what they are). Use the wiring charts as a guide to get you close to what you need. What is on a wiring chart can be way off from what is in the vehicle. Even from one web site to the next.   

No FM's or SOP's for this stuff...lol   (20 yrs, 4 days Army. 13 bang)

When all else fails, Read the Instructions
