I just purchased an Autopage RS-850LCD and I am about to install it in my 2000 Taurus. I am just not clear what kind of door locks I have. Do I have the 5 wire or the 3 door locks? Do I need relays or not? What door lock wires do I use from my remote start...Negative or positive? Please, I need to be steered in the right direction. Thanks for all your help in advance. Here is the link to my wire diagram.

DO youhave factory keyless entry? If yes, your locks are negative trigger and no relays are required.

Now if I understand this correctly, I must find the BLACK/ orange wire which controls the door ajar indicator and cut it to diode isolate it from the cluster. Does this mean.....Cut the wire > solder a diode in-line(So I am re-joining the line with the diode in the middle?). Then where does my wire go from my security unit??

Please help!

Thanks!

You would tie into the side of the diode that is NOT the end that's going to the cluster.

Or, simply cut the trigger wire in half, connect the diode inline, and then test each end of the diode for door trigger, with the ignition key both on and off. The side that tests properly is the one you want.

No, he asked if you have factory keyless entry. Also, does your car have the keypad above the driver's outside door handle?

Yes I have the keyless pad on the door. And just to make things clear....I have factory keyless entry with the factory alarm but I am adding the Autopage remote start/alarm combo. So to sum things up, all I need to do is hook up the negative trigger to my lock and unlock wires, NO relays required. Then hook up the diode inline of the door ajar wire isolating the cluster and then tap into the wire with the door pin trigger from my remote start. Is this all correct??

Thanks everyone for helping me out. This site is great!

Hi,

I'm about to do a remote car starter/alarm install in my 2000 Taurus and noticed it calls for the Tan / YELLOW wire for the tach at the PCM. I went looking and discovered 2 of them at the PCM. Which one is it? Are they the same wire? Any help would be great. Also could someone tell me excacly where the window up/down wires are located? It says kick panel but there is like a thousand same color wires in there. Thanks!

Personally I get the window wires in the door and leave the module in there. However I mostly do Chevy's and the lock button panel pulls right off exposing everything. I don't know about a Tarus. Leave it to Ford to have the same color wires in the same bundle. Just probe as per instructions and you should find it.

Don't know about the tach wire. Sorry.
