I have an 87 ford ranger, and a 91 ford explorer.
I have installed my alarms in both vehicles with the exception of the power door locks which has always confused me, Its like algebra I can see it, i can be shown it and in the end it just wont sink in.
My alarms have both + and - trigger wires but I cant remember the process for the fords ie relays, no relays, direct connect... so any assistance on this would be appreciated.
Thanx, Mike
