I just installed a Crimestopper CS-2014 DP remote start/alarm on my 1994 Ford F-350 Turbo Diesel and it seems to be working just fine, but there are 3 accessory wires in it, 2 fat grey / YELLOW wires and one skinny grey / YELLOW wire I guessed right and connected to the one Acc. wire that controlls my AC/heat so that is the good, now for the question. When the romote start has control the ABS light stays on and my digital odometer stays off/blank is this causing any damage? As soon as I overide it and turn the key on the ABS light goes out and the odometer turns on like they are supposed to. I know I "should" put a relay in and connect to the other 2 ACC. leads but time and laziness are against me. I just want some input as to wether this is or will be an issue down the road if I leave it as is? How do I test the ACC. leads to know what they are controlling and if I am running without power going to some sort of vital component? This was my first remote start install so any advice is appreciated.

Another question. The remote start/alarm also has a turbo timer built in so I can cool down my turbo after driving. The install manual says the green wire from the 9 pin harness needs to connect to a momentary switch between it and a chasis ground. It also says it will continue to run for 1-5 minutes selectively? I connected it and it kept running for 12 minutes which is the duration I set for my remote start, much longer than I'd like for the turbo cool down. How do I program it to turn off in the 1-5 min. time like the install manual states. the installation manual also says to find out more in the operating manual but there is no mention at all in the opertating manual about a turbo timer?

FYI on the turbo timer. I got ahold of a tech from Crimestopper and the green wire coming from the nine pin harness is the right wire I just have to push the brake pedal at the same time as the momentary switch to activate the timer, 1-5 pushes of the button = 1-5 minutes remote start delay. There is no mention of this process in either of the manuals that came with the alarm so I thought I'd pass this tid bit along if you have a turbo and are installing a 2014 DP. Also the tech didn't think there was any harm in the ABS light on or digital odometer not on.
