Is the BLUE wire off the Omega the GROUND OUT WHEN RUNNING WIRE ? If this is correct, the hook it straight up to the 555F module as Haku suggested. If the BLUE wire is not a GROUND OUT WHEN RUNNING wire but has another characteristic, then that is your problem. Test the BLUE wire to ensure proper wire characteristics and post your results.

OK, two things here now:

1. Does the 555F work on a Sport-trac? I was told that it did by the company I bought it from. Several sites that I have visited also indicate that it does work for a 2001 Sport-trac.

2. The light blue wire coming off the 10 pin on the Omega is a (-), and is supposed to be used as a alarm disable. According to wiring diagrams the alarm bypass wire is supposed to be dk GREEN/ purple located in the drivers kick, but there is no dk GREEN/ purple wire there. Should I hook up that light blue wire to the 555f?

3. The dk blue wire I was referring to prior comes off the red 3 pin (red: fulltime +, Blue: negative trigger for secondary ignition, Green: negative trigger for secondary starter circuit) port that is designed to fire a secondary ignition (if needed) via a relay. Should I not use this wire and instead try hooking the light blue directly to the 555f blue wire

1. My notes tell me that the 555F is not compatible with the Ford Sport Trac.

2. You are using the wrong wire. This ALARM DISABLE is only a pulsed (-) . What you want is a wire that has a constant (-) throughtout the remote start sequence.

3. Yes, use this DARK BLUE wire instead of the P10 BLUE wire.

If the problem persists, then you know you have the wrong bypass module. If it is correct and the truck starts, then you save yourself a trip down to the shop to exchange for a different module.

Well that doesn't sound like good news. I am NOT using the light blue wire now. It is currently not attached to anything. I do have the dark blue wire tripping the relay coil and having the relay supply (-) power to the 555F.

What do you guys recommend for a bypass unit that will work?

Argh! (Sorry just venting.....)

PKF is what I used on mine, fast, easy, and no eye to deal with.

Here is a link for one. $19.95 (shipping included), thats the cheapest I have found.

Hak,

Just to make sure...

Yours is on a 2001 Sport-trac right?

You have keyless entry (if that makes a difference???)

How do you install?

I will order it ASAP if I am sure it will work...seems like I got suckered last time!

Thanks in advance!

It will work, they are very easy to install. Mine is a 2001 Sport Trac, with factory keyless. Below is a link on the instructions for installing, if you want to take a look before you order. I have two of these in stock, I purchase from the same seller you will purchase from. I would rather install the PKF over the 555F, 555U anyday!!

http://www.12voltdirect.com/manual/PKF_030502.pdf

This kit works on all 2001 Sport Tracs.

Also works on the normal Explorers bulit before 04/00

My production date is 07/00

If you have anymore questions you can email me at ip3@centurytel.net

Easy solution is go directly to Ford and get the correct bypass to start with. You do not need to disable an alarm that is not there. Ford uses a different immobiliser on different vehicles. The ford unit is cheap and works everytime. I believe there are three or four types. Ford will know which one to use. If you cannot find the right one I will look it up tomorrow and tell who you can order it from. I buy mine from the local Mercury dealer here in Florida.

Thanks Guys.

2 things:

Hak: the application chart on that bypass kit does not list Sport-Trac.

DanDan: Ford sells a bypass kit? If I call the local place the parts department will know what I am talking about? How is the installation?
