ive never done a remote start on a diesel vehicle, so this is all new to me. if im using a remote starter that has a diesel mode, where it waits awhile until it cranks, do i even have to worry about any "wait to start bulb"?, do i just need the tach wire like on a normal install?

and according to the directed electronics tech info. they say on the 02' ford f series super duty, the wait to start light is databus from the ecm. and it says you need a pulse timer relay and refer to document #1091, does anyone have any info about all this???????? i read a previous post from PLAYER69, and it said that on the 2003 f-series you can sometimes find the wait to start light at the back of the instrument cluster, is this the same possibility for the 02', and if it turns out that there is no wire at the back of the cluster, is there anyway to interface with the databuse wiring?

thanks in advance!

a diesel has glow plugs if they are not warmed up it will not start.

This is what I have on a 2002

GLOW PLUG WIRE:PURPLE / ORANGE OR WHITE/ LT. GREEN IN 42-PIN CONN. UNDER AIR FILTER BOX The Tach Wire Is Green And Can Be Found In A 42-Pin Connector Found Underneath The Air Filter Box. Remove The Air Filter Box To Access Wires.
