95 ford windstar remote starter wiring

I've picked up a CT-3200 remote starter made by ProStart/AutoStart.ca

wiring/other manuals: https://www.autostart.ca/prostart/prod-en_CT-3200.php

here is the pinout for the ignition harness I found on the ford service manual CD: https://img0633.paintedover.com/uploads/0633/ignition.gif

The starter has 1 ignition, 1 accessory, and a 3rd wire that can be set to 2nd ignition or 2nd accessory with a jumper.

The wiring schematic from autostart for my ford windstar claims that I have 1 ignition (RED / green), and two accessories (gray / YELLOW and BLACK/ green)

Pin 5 on the service manual (fused run/accessory feed) is BLACK/ gray but on the actual vehicle it is BLACK/ pink.

I found a manual for a different starter online that claims the BLACK/ pink is ignition 2, and another installer I spoke to said that is is accessory (like the ford manual says)

The ford service manual says that I have 3 accessories (pin 2, 5, and 9).

Do I need to hook up all 3 accessories? I plan on using a relay, but is it possible to just hook the 3 wires all together for testing purposed? I'd hate to be wiring a bunch of relays when something else is the problem.

Right now I have pin 2 connected to acc 1, pin 6 connected to ign 1, and pin 9 connected to acc 2. When attempting to remote start, the parking breaks blink once and nothing happens.

Any recommendations for relays I can find in radioshack or canadian tire, or recommendations for a different store I would find relays at?

Thanks in advance.

Here is what DEI lists for your vehicle

Both ignitions need to be powered. As far as the accessories go, I hook the first one listed up. Then I use a temporary jumper to energize each of the other accessories till all of the lights on the dash go out, abs, airbag etc. Once I verify that the blower motor and A/C compressor are working then I make the connections to these accessory wires permanent using relays. The manufacturer has these wires seperated for a reason, I would not jump them all together.

If this is your first RS then you picked a nice, easy vehicle to start with.

Hope this helps.

This is very helpful, thanks. By energize you mean jumped to +12v correct?

"The starter has 1 ignition, 1 accessory, and a 3rd wire that can be set to 2nd ignition or 2nd accessory with a jumper."


By default the unit is set on 2nd ignition. You don't need to change anything. The vehicle that you have will require 2nd ignition. Only one accessory wire is needed for your vehicle.



"Do I need to hook up all 3 accessories? I plan on using a relay, but is it possible to just hook the 3 wires all together for testing purposed? I'd hate to be wiring a bunch of relays when something else is the problem. "


Again, not require.



"By energize you mean jumped to +12v correct?"



Yes, that is what is meant, but don't jump wire. Bad procedural practice, worst when it becomes a habit. So, don't jump any wires! Otherwise I make you sit in the corner for 5 minutes! NOT a reconizable practice in my eyes, but yet practice by a lot of my colleauge and trade people out there. There a better ways of doing it. A power probe is one.


All you have to do is find the two accessory wire listed above on the wiring schematic. Once found, the Green wire on the remote starter is the accessory wire. Make your first connection on the accessory wire you found. Do a remote start, if the fan (blower) work, you got the correct Accessory wire. Otherwise, tape up the open wire and proceed on to the second Accessory wire that you found. Make your connection. Start up with the remote starter. Check the fan, if it still doesn't work continue until you have the correct accessory wire.
