I am going to install a Viper 5301 Responder LE 2-Way Remote Start System in my 2009 Ford F150 5.4l King Ranch and am looking for a wiring chart.
Also and helpful tips for installing this particular remote start would be appreciated.

Here is a link to Bulldog Security for their wiring guide : https://www.bulldogsecurity.com/bdnew/vehiclewiringdiagrams.asp

Here is a link to DEI for their wiring guide : https://www.readyremote.com/main.asp?action=select&yr=24475&product=Remote Start&make=Ford&model=F150#

Very easy vehicle to do. The ignition wires are thin gauge. Use the (+) Parking Light wire at the SJB. The SJB is in the passenger
kick panel and provides easy access to the Lock & Unlock wires, too. The DEI 1100F works well for the transponder immobilizer system,
but they are getting hard to find. The PKALL is another good choice.

So I finally got around to installing that remote start. I got it all wired in but I did not wire in the ignition 2 and ignition 3 because the truck wiring chart did not list a ignition 2 or 3 to hook them into, should I just tie the both of them in to the truck ignition 1 with the remote start ignition 1? The reason I ask is because once I got it all hooked up and programmed the remote the unlock and lock functions work but the it will not start with the remote. When I hit the start button a orange light illuminates followed by a red light and a tone coming from the remote.

I programmed the system from manual transmission to the automatic as required so unless I did that wrong that is not the issue.

Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated

Only connect the Viper H3/1 Pink wire to the F150's WHITE/ Orange Ignition wire.

Did you connect the Viper's H3/5 and H3/8 to +12V constant?

What type of bypass did you use? Did it program OK?

Did you connect the BLACK/ WHITE (-) NEUTRAL SAFETY SWITCH INPUT to Chassis Ground? And connect the switch & set to ON?

Any Parking Light error blinks after the failed remote start?

Perform the Viper Shutdown Diagnostics for any logged errors.
