Hi everyone. I'm looking for the wiring diagrams for a 2008 mercury mountaineer premier. I'm installing a Viper 5901 alarm/remote start and using a XK04 xpresskit

I found your post on the 2008 Mercury Mountaineer Remote Start Wiring using the12volt search engine. Would you be able to tell me if the wiring is the same for a Remote Start install on a 2009 Mountaineer? Any other recommendations for remote start only (no alarm) besides the Ford PowerCode?

Thanks so much for your assist.

Not sure. You said 08-10. Do you mean a range from 2008 to 2010?

Based on that, I am thinking the 09 is probably the same as the 10. Do you have the 2010 wiring info? can you post or PM if you have it? I'm in PA/NJ. Any chance you would be close by?
