I just had a Clifford Matrix RS 3 installed on my truck. I have a 1993 Ford Ranger XLT. The remote start works fine but it does not start the AC/Heater or the radio. I know this model has that function because they advertise it on the box. I was wondering if that feature does not work with my truck because my truck is so old. Any help would be great. Thanks

Sounds like they did not hook up your accessory wire (should be gray / YELLOW).

Not to name names, but where did you have this installed? They should not have let a remote start go out the door that didn't run the heater....

Where do I hook up the accessory wire? I had the alarm installed at Best Buy.

you should have 3-4 gray / YELLOW wires you know its not the one athey used, so you can either hook up to the one and have the radio work or probably the 3rd one and have the heater work, why would you want the radio one when remote started?? good luck Boogie

matt you wont hurt anything tying into any of the gray / YELLOW wires. if you want you can take a red wire going to the remote starter and hook up to one of the wires and it will turn on the radio or athe heater. do this with the key off. sorry i didnt tell you this before.

I'd strongly recommend you go back to the retailer and have them fix it. This is clearly their fault. If you start messing around in there, you are voiding your warranty...

Don't bother doing it yourself.. go back and bitch, maybe youll get a best buy 'cupon' or two :)

And tell them to test their sh*t before it leaves..
