Remote Start Wiring for 2001 Ford F250

Hello, I have a 2001 Ford F250 Diesel. I would like to install Viper 5706V on it. I was able to get the doors to lock and unlock but I cant figure out the remote start. I have the wiring diagram for both the Truck and the Viper 5706v unit the only problem is I do not understand what is starter input and starter output on viper 5706v and where to plug them

here is the link to 5706v wiring Here

and here is the link of my truck wiring here

If you cut the starter wire for the starter kill feature, the key side goes to the input, the starter side goes to the output. If you are not cutting the starter wire, just connect the output.

My ex once told me I have a perfect face for radio.

Thank you! ill give this a try tomorrow. btw, previous owner added a security button to start the truck. when i turn the key to crank it doesn't crank until i push that button. do i have to remove that button to make remote start to work?

It's up to you. If you want you can just connect the starter output to the side of the button that goes to the starter.

From my Viper unit 10 Pin Connector

Pin 4 Pink/White Connects to Gray / YELLOW cable at Ignition switch Harness

Pin 7 Violet connects to my starter side Security Button (the other side of that button connects to RED / Light Blue at Ignition switch harness

Pin 10 Pink connects to RED / Black at Ignition switch harness

am i missing anything else? Im not sure what cable i need to connect to stop the starter when the truck starts.

I guess the link doesnt work again. link from my truck was from S P A M.com and the rest of the link

* Program the Viper for Flex Relay = ACC2.  Menu 3, Item 8, Option 2.

Also note that there are several Yellow wires that are +12V constant that can be used, so split the Vipers +12V wires
between them to prevent over loading any one wire.

Not sure what the "Security Button" you mention is.  If you don't want the Starter Kill / Anti-Grind features that the Viper can
provide, do not cut the trucks Starter wire, just connect the Vipers Violet Starter wire directly to the trucks RED / Light Blue
Starter wire.   Here is a photo of the trucks ignition switch connector with the wires marked :

Soldering is fun!

Hello Kreg357, I did everything like you said. but when i press to remote start i get "Remote Start Error" on my 2-way remote.

The security button that I was talking about is that RED / Light Blue cable is cut, there is a button in between cables. I connected the green and the violet cable to the starter side of that cable not the ignition side. correct me if im wrong - the button has two pins, when i try to crank the engine with the key I put the 12v tester on one side of the pin and the light on the 12v turns on, but on the other pin there is no voltage until i press the button. while trying to crank the engine i press the button and the engine cranks. that means i need to connect my green and violet to the side where there was not light right?

With that ":Security" button, it would handle the anti-grind portion of the Vipers' Starter Circuit.  The Starter Kill would be better than the Security switch.  Making the RED / Light Blue starter wire cut for the Vipers' Violet and Green wires on the vehicle side of the Security switch is correct.

The "remote start error" notice might be from a few things.  Did you program the Viper for Auto Trans ( assuming the truck has it )?  Can you run Shutdown Diagnostics to get the actual error?

I removed the Security button for less confusion, now its normal. RED / Light Blue cable is cut, green cables is closer to the ignition side and the violet cable is the starter side.

and yes I did program it to Auto (it is Automatic) ill run the shutdown diagnostics tomorrow after work.

btw can the problem be because the alarm thinks one of the doors is open. when i shut all 4 doors and press the lock its telling me that one of the doors is open but armed. not sure if that would cause a problem.

Kreg357 what is your paypal email? id like to send you some money as a thank you for your help. I was able to get my truck remote started. my dumb *** forgot to connect Neutral safe black and white cable. after viewing some videos i was able to find my problem.

The Shutdown Diagnostics are sometimes very helpful.  Glad it's working OK now,

The Door Trigger / Alarm problem could be coming from a bad door trigger switch in one of the doors.  After 15 years one or more could be bad.

No need to send me any money, thanks for the offer.  This Forum has many knowledgeable member willing to help.  However, if you would like to get a $ under your member name, the 12V would gladly accept a contribution.

just donated to 12v not sure how long it will take to show that $ under my name but that doesn't matter.

I have two questions. any idea why sometimes my truck starts sometimes it doesn't, the starter will crank for .8 sec and than cut off. i changed the setting to crank longer but it still cuts after few spins.

question two. looking at the viper 5706v 6pin pin 5 white cables is for parking light out. where do i plug that in? also do i need to connect pin 4 to a relay?
