Hello. I've purchased a Able2 Ignition Override - to keep the vehicle running while I'm not near it. I have the wiring diagram for my 2002 Ford Explorer Limited, but I have a question. The Override module has 4 connections for Ignition, but says you may not use them all. I'm guessing I only need two, the ignition wire and the acc wire, to keep it running. Does this sound correct?

https://able2products.com/PDFs/05_0915_Instructions.pdf Here is the manual --

You have 4 or 5 ignition output wires... this allows for cars with multiple ignition and accessory wires.

You are correct, you only need to use as many wires as your car needs (in this case only two wires)

12 VOLT CONSTANT	YELLOW (+)	IGNITION SWITCH HARNESS
STARTER	RED (+)	IGNITION SWITCH HARNESS
STARTER 2	N/A
IGNITION 1	RED / LIGHT GREEN (+)	IGNITION SWITCH HARNESS
IGNITION 2	N/A
IGNITION 3	N/A
ACCESSORY /HEATER BLOWER 1	GREEN/ LIGHT GREEN (+)	IGNITION SWITCH HARNESS

Just be sure and properly tape off the other two or three unused wires as these will be HOT (i.e. carrying 12 volts) when you're in ignition override mode.

According the manual I linked you to .. there are four inputs, and 5 outputs.
