Hi, I'm trying to install a Ready Remote 24923 remote start into a 2004 Crown victoria P71.

The diagram I have says:

Accessory 1: Gray / YELLOW
Accessory 2: BLACK/ Green

It appears that I have two separate Gray / YELLOW wires in the ignition harness. How should I figure out which one to use? Thanks!

Here is a note from Audiovox on your 2004 CV P71 : IT MAY BE NECESSARY TO ENERGIZE A 2ND GRAY / YELLOW WIRE IF PRESENT

Thanks for the response! So if using this method for the 2nd accessory wire:

#86 to the accessory output of remote starter and first accessory wire in the vehicle.
#85 to the ground out when running wire of the remote start
#30 to the second accessory wire in the vehicle
#87 to the fused side of the remote starter's main power wire.
#87a is not used.

Could #30 go to both BLACK/ Green (accessory 2) and Gray / YELLOW #2? Or would I need to use a separate relay to power the Gray / YELLOW #2 wire?

Hey sorry for bumping my own thread but could anybody just give me a quick answer on the quoted question? Thanks!

I would keep all the ignition wires on separate circuits. I figure that the Ford design engineers did it that way for a reason.
