I'm working on a 97 Ford Contour. Directechs states this year car doesn't have a bypass nor does audiovox. But i took it to the dealership and they said it does. I was going to use the 1100f bypass wire the 1B way as stated for the 98 Contour, only to find the ignition cylinder only has 2 wires for the transponder. One wire is black and the other ORANGE / white. I thought these are the TX/RX wire but car ran for 10secs and died. Switched the wire and the same thing. I'm going to upload pics when i can cause there's not a black transponder ring as on most fords. Has Anyone done this car?

1. Have you successfully gotten the remote starter to work with the key in the ignition?
2. Most of those cars didn't have transponders.......I'm thinking it might be only the V6, but I'm not sure.
Above the radio, is a black panel with the word Contour on it. With the car off and the key removed, is there a flashing red light there?

Usually pats systems have 4 wires going to them. sounds like you are tapped into the wrong wires.

All the pats systen i've worked on have a green plug. There's only one plug, it's black, and has two wires. One black, other ORANGE / white.I used a 1100f. On the ground i just grounded it to a screw. Ignition wire is on the ignition1(which i metered) and the tx and Rx wires have been switched between the the black and ORANGE / white at pats unit.

Have you TESTED the wires? Sounds like they might be a keysense wire you are tapping into. I 'm pretty sure that car doesn't have a transponder in it. What does the key look like? A sure way to tell would be to get a key made for a buck or two from Wally World or a hardware store, and try to start the car. If it starts, no bypass needed.
