I need a little help with a DEI 562T in a 2003 Ford Windstar.I also bought the 556S bypass module.
I haven't installed a security system in about 10 years (I'm gettin' old!) and never installed a RS before. Perfectly capable though!
I bought the KE/RS for my wife for xmas and want to get it installed while it's warm. I found a wiring guide on here and want to check the wires today and possibly mount the module then I'll cut and solder all the wires tomorrow so as not to arise any suspicion. Here are my questions:
1)The primary harness has wire "H1/3 WHITE/ blue (-)remote start activation input" is this the same as the status input? The manual shows the input connected to the program/valet button and I would have to cut one of the wires as this is a prewired button. Is this correct? If so which one would I have to cut? It shows the button grounded on one side. There are gray and BLACK/ white wires. Or would I have to test them after I have it connected. Seems kinda odd that you could use this button to start the vehicle to me. The 556S has a RED / black wire that has to be hooked to the status input and I want to make sure that this is the correct wire to connect to.
2)Also in the primary harness is "H1/6 (-) second unlock output". Would I have to tap the main unlock to the driver door and connect the normal unlock wire to it then connect the second unlock to the main unlock at the FEM? Or is this not even necessary? The doors lock when you put it in gear and do not unlock them when the car is turned off. Kinda dumb and the reason for the keyless in the first place. The RS was just a bonus I guess!
3)The relay sattelite has ignition in and starter out does this mean I need to cut the starter wire in the harness? I'm familiar with this as a starter kill circuit but will it affect starting with the key in this application?
4)Does anyone have the wire color for the rear defrost? If not I will have to tear the dash apart to find it I guess.
5)Is there a tach wire inside the van that I can tap for the tach input? The wiring guide I have says there is a triple coil pack on the driver's side of the engine compartment and this is incorrect. There is a distributor type ignition on the back of the motor up against the firewall from what I can see and I can not get back there without tearing the motor apart. I would think that there is a wire inside since it has a tach. Also there is not much room to drill a hole through the firewall to run the hood pin and tach input wires. I tried to poke through the factory grommet but it's very tight around the wires.
6)Wire color for the neutral safety switch? If not would my best bet be to try and find it in the steering column when I take it apart to install the 556S?
7) Last one!! Is it better to install the start override switch under the hood or in the cabin?
It's most certainly easier to put it inside (see #5 above) but does it make more sense from a service standpoint to put it under the hood?
Any help or insight is much appreciated!
