I have a 1993 Ford F-150 XLT that I just installed a remote starter on and as this was my first install for the most part all went well thanks to the help I got in this forum.  Now my problem.

The kit I purchased does not include the relay's for the door locks so I have ordered them and am going to install them ASAP.  I still have a few questions though.

Remote starter install successful but...... -- posted image.1) When I use the remote start the "ABS" light comes on on the dash.  It goes off when I enter the truck and turn  the key ON.  Is this a problem?? Will it hurt anything?

Remote starter install successful but...... -- posted image.2) I can access the door lock wires much easier on the passenger side kick panel.  I have traced four wires at a connector there. Lets call them A, B, C,D. I have the following results

When I press the:

Passenger door lock switch UNLOCK,    wire A has 12 V

Passenger door lock switch LOCK,    wire B has 12 V

Driver door lock switch UNLOCK,    wire C has 12 V

Driver door lock switch LOCK,    wire D has 12 V

Remote starter install successful but...... -- posted image.Can I cut any matched (A, B or C,D) pair of wires?? 

Remote starter install successful but...... -- posted image.Can they be cut to install the relays at this point??

I am planning on following this diagram.

 Thanks in advance for all of your help.

1. As long as the ABS light goes out after the key take over is done, then you don't have a problem.

2. The driver door will master the passenger side. The passensger side may NOT operate the driver side. You will need to test this first in order to find out, unless someone knows ?

I normally do reversing doorlocks fof f150 on the passenger side and they do both doors well.
There is a lot more room to solder your connections there.
A little hint is to test your wires after you cut them and the side that rests at ground is the switch side.

Please excuse my ignorance on this but what do you mean "reversing" door locks??  Should I cut the drivers switch wires or passenger switch?

What he means is use the 5 wire diagram from above as this is the type of system the Ford uses. Also, to use driver's switch when testing for switch and motor sides. E-brake bracket blocks easy access from driver's side. Use the driver's switch at this location.
