Subject: Valet Remote Start, Wire diagram?
Date Posted: August 05, 2006 at 12:06 PM

I just purchased a DEI Valet remote start system 561T.  I have read the installation instructions and they do nit specify where all the wires off of the 561t unit connect to.  Does anyone have a simple digram of where each wire connect to?  I am installing this unit in a 2000 Ford Explorer.  I have also purchased a DEI 556U bypass system to incorperate into the system.  Any help would be appreciated.

What wires, specifically, are you unsure about?

BLACK/ White neutral safety shutdown                    to                      RED / Light Blue                                                     Where is this located?
Thats usually to the switch that is included. So you can turn off the R/S function when you take the car to the shop so it doesnt accendently r/s. Or you can simply ground it.

Blue/White 2nd status output/defogger               to                      ?                                                                                    Where does this go to?
To your bypass. I recommend the 555f instead of 556u.

WHITE/ Red (+) activation input        Dont use

RED / White (-) 200mA channel 2 output          No need (usually trunk pop)
WHITE/ Blue (-) activation input      Dont use

Your ford exploreer does not need port 4. DO NOT USE THIS.

red is 12v- connect to the yellow of the ford.
You understand the iginition starter and accesory.

WRONG, do not use this. Tape it real good. This is an output to a secuirty system if you were using the 561T as a remote start add on.

Thanks for the data.  I have a few more questions.

GREEN / WHITE (-) factory alarm rearm                      to                          ?   Where does this go to? 

Pink ignition output                                              to                               Light GREEN/ Purple @ ignition switch    Is this the same as the yellow wire above?

Orange accessory 1 output                                to                                 ? 

Red 12V hign current input                                to                                  ?    Where does this go to? red is 12v- connect to the yellow of the Ford.  Why are there two red high current input wires?  Do they both go to the same yellow wire?

Just to confirm, I should not use any of the wires comming out of the 4 port connector.  What are these usually used for?

captainzab,

Thanks for all the great info.  One more question.  You lost me on the Yellow (-) ignition output.  DO I have to connect the Pink/White ignition 2 output and the Pink ignition output in the 6 port byt not the Yellow (-) ignition output in the 9 port?  Since I have a factory alarm system and am just using the 561t as an add on would this change anything?

Thanks again,

JM

12 VOLT CONSTANT        YELLOW (+)        IGNITION SWITCH HARNESS       
STARTER       RED / LIGHT BLUE (+)       IGNITION SWITCH HARNESS       
IGNITION 1       LIGHT GREEN/ PURPLE (+) (1 of 2 wires, use either wire)       IGNITION SWITCH HARNESS       
IGNITION 2       BLACK/ LIGHT GREEN (+)       IGNITION SWITCH HARNESS       
ACCESSORY /HEATER BLOWER 1       GRAY / YELLOW (+) (1 of 2 wires, use either wire)

There are 2 12v input so because some vehicle has 2 12v constant, so you dont draw too much current from one wire causing the fuse to blow. But your okay to connect both to the YELLOW on the ford.
The Pink wire is output during remote start. The yelllow one is meant for a secuirty system if using the 561T as a remote start add on.
Your ORANGE Accesory wire goes to the GRAY / YELLOW. There are 2 in the ford. Pick either one, but not both.


WAIT, my bad. You need your WHITE/ blue wire activation input wire (sorry, thought this was the unit with the remote).
Connect this to the lock or Unlock wire of the FORD. You can press lock lock or unlock unlock inorder to remote start. Your preference.

Joel,

Are you aware that the factory remotes on that Explorer don't work when the engine is running? Once the car is remote started, you're going to have to use your key to unlock the doors.

If you don't make ANY connection to the BLACK/ green second-accessory wire at the ignition switch, the factory remote WILL work when the engine is running, but the air conditioner WON'T blow cold; this wire triggers the AC compressor.

So, if you'll only use it in the winter, don't power up the BLACK/ light green.............if you want to use it in the summer too, either buy a remote starter with its own remotes for start/lock/unlock, or live with the fact that your own remote won't work with the car running.

Chris,

Thaks for the info.  I was not aware of that.  Since I would like to use the remote start in the winter and summer I will keep the BLACK/ green second-accessory wire connected and use the key to unlock the door.  Is this the same wire as the factory alarm disarm?                    





Posted By: captainzab

Factory alarm disarm is to disarm the factory alrm during the remote start stage so it does go off.

Your car doesnt have a second accesory so no need to hook it up.

are you adding this to a oem alarm or after market? just asking cause you might be able to use the status output wire.

I am just adding it to the OEM system.  I would like to use the remote but the air and heat is the most important.
