Bensenville IL 60106

Lock: WHITE/ Violet (-) @ Drivers kick panelUnlock: Pink/White (-) @ Drivers kick panelOEM Alarm Disarm: Blue/Green (-) @ Drivers kick panelSame vehicle as the ford escape..

The blue/green wire is in the large harness in the drivers kick panel. It is the only blue/green wire in there. Keep looking..

OH, I was lloking only in the harness connected to the floor. So it can be in the other harnesses? Awesome, Ill try it. I have the shock sensor done now and the hood pin. Getign closerIm Rick James

I was told that the escape and tribute were totaly different as far as wiring even though they are really close. Another question as nightime is crouching in on my install. Should I run the factory alarm disable wire from my scytek unit? I want to leave the horn and parking lights functional like in the factory mode but use my additional siren as well. I was afraid disarming would take out the horn feature if I disable it. Stil looking for my blue/lt gren wireIm Rick James

Nightfall has set! Heres what problem(s) I have now.1. I found the WHITE/ violet wire beside the blue but there are 2 of them, and directly on each side of the blue/green wire. Which do I use?2. The factory disarm wire coming from my scytek brain,....do I use it?3. I tried to use the factory arm/disarm wires and now I have good and bad     GOOD: Dome light works right, Locks when armed     BAD: No parking light flashes, no unlock.Im not going into the remote start until I get the alarm function completely right so Tomorrow should be a busy day. Any replies are dearly appreciated. Just to be completely sure,(refer to pic) Everyone agrees the GEM is the one on the left with the two connectors, right?Im Rick James

you have to do some testing with a DMM (digital Multimeter)

1. I found the WHITE/ violet wire beside the blue but there are 2 of them, and directly on each side of the blue/green wire. Which do I use? In the kick panel there is only be 1 WHITE/ violet, one blue/green, and 1 pink/white. Stay away from the GEM module there is NO reason to go near it. Looks like you have half the car apart in that picture.2. The factory disarm wire coming from my scytek brain,....do I use it? YES. Run it to the blue/green wire in the drivers kick panel. If you have a fusebox in the kick, it's the harness clipped in to the left of the fusebox, if no fusebox, it's the only harness running down in the kick."BAD: No parking light flashes, no unlock."Run your negative unlock wire to the pink/white wire in the drivers kick panel. Not sure what you used to hookup your park lights. The brown (+) park light wire is in the kick panel in the harness to the right of the fusebox, OR if no fusebox in the harness going from the drivers kick to the drivers foot area.

I was trying this step done by Chris. It was unsuccesfull for me, bt it sounds like its the biggest time saver. I ended up going to the kick panel on the drivers side and starting from scratch so far so good. Withyour method do I have to run a relay for the parking lamps?Im Rick James
