APS-995C Illuminated Entry

995C....that means it came from Circuit City, right? The stuff Circuit gets uses different wiring colors than tha standard Audiovox stuff. On the 995C illuminated entry is BLACK/ white----it's in the large plug that has about 20 wires in it, near one of the corners. If you hook the output to one of the truck's individual door wires----that is, a wire that catches only ONE door----a relay should not be required.        ITEM      |     WIRE COLOR     |POL|       WIRE LOCATION        | |              12V|yellow & lt. grn/pur|+ |ignition harness            | |          STARTER|RED / lt. blue        |+ |ignition harness            | |        IGNITION|dk. blue/lt. green |+ |ignition harness            | | SECOND IGNITION|gray / YELLOW        |+ |ignition harness            | |   THIRD IGNITION|lt. blue/pink *1    |+ |ignition harness            | |        ACCESSORY|RED / black           |+ |ignition harness            | | SECOND ACCESSORY|BLACK/ green        |+ |ignition harness            | |       POWER LOCK|pink / YELLOW        |*2 |passenger kick panel        | |     POWER UNLOCK|pink/green *8       |*2 |passenger kick panel        | | PARKING LIGHTS +|brown               |   |light switch *3             | | PARKING LIGHTS -|lt.

Use DEI module 555F to over-ride during remote start. *1 Power this wire if vehicle is equiped with only rear anti-lock brakes. Vehicles with all wheel anti-lock brakes do not have this wire. *2 Negative pulse, type 'B', on keyless entry models. Five wire, type 'C', on non-keyless models, mastered from the driver switch. *3 May also be found at trailer connector next to diagnostic connector under dash. *4 If equiped with autolamps. *5 The BLACK / YELLOW catches the drivers door and the BLACK/ pink catches the passengers door. The wires are found in there respective door harnesses. On the Super Crew the rear door trigger is BLACK/ lt. blue low in the driver kick panel. Use all wires and diode isolate each. See direct fax document # 1076 for wiring information. Both wires may also be found at the GEM module located above the fuse box. On models without a dome light delay use ORANGE / lt. green (-) at the light switch. *6 Arms when locked with the door open. To simulate, send a negative trigger to the lt. blue/white wire at the RAP module, located behind the light switch, while locking.    *7 Tach wire : on the 4.2L it is a dk.blue/lt.green at the coil pack on top of the motor.   Tach wire : On the 4.6L go to any of the 8 ignition coils and use the wire that is not RED / green. Tach wire : on the 5.4L it is a lt.GREEN / WHITE at the coil on the passenger side of the motor between the fuel injectors. *8 The GEM in this vehicle shuts down after the doors have been locked for a certain time period, to "wake-up" the system refer to directfax document #1093.

Hey, it's okay to be new. Yes, you were following me correctly. Generally, the individual (driver's or passenger's) doorpin wires only draw a tiny bit of current.....then the car's body computer is what actually powers the domelight. This is not always the case, though, and I haven't done a Ford truck anytime recently. But you can always try. And as for your other questions, leave all of the other wiring from the alarm alone---the door trigger inputs should already be connected correctly, and won't have to be changed. Also, the illuminated entry feature comes on when you disarm the alarm, as you probably know. And it times out after 30 seconds. But if you re-arm the alarm, the domelight will go right out again. Not sure if I'm saying it clearly enough, but the alarm is designed so that the illuminated entry feature isn't active when the alarm is armed-----so unless the alarm develops some bizarre defect, it will never false because of this. Also, if the alarm is violated, the domelight will flash on and off, just like the parking lights.
