Anyone have wiring location/color codes for 2001 Subaru Forrester? I've been working to install the MVS II in mine but am unable to get doorlocks to work (they make noise but don't lock/unlock) nor the parking lights, despite locating the purple wire behind the fuse panel. This is not a programming problem as best I can tell.
I used Jeff's info on the Forrester but still can't seem to make this thing work. The info in the vehicle database doesn't seem even close.
Can anyone help?
Thanks in advance
You might have to go to the motors instead of going to the keyless module for the door locks. Did you try giving the target ORANGE wire for the parking lights 12 volts to see if the parking lights went on ?? Make sure that you verify the correct wires prior to attaching any wires from the MVS II unit.

Jeff -
Thanks a bunch !
Got the locks working shortly after my post - Found out there are TWO yellow/red wires going into the white connector on driver's side kick; DMM told me I had the wrong one.
Will use your info to get the Park lights working.
Thanks.
Chuck
