Thanks to KarTuneMan for 2005 Ford Freestar vehicle info. Finished installing my remote start and it works awesome.

I have 1 connection that I am having problems with and I need specific information. The document didn't mention the headlights at all. If I want to connect remote start to the headlights what needs to be done. I couldn't find a wire at the headlight switch that would work. I also tried to use the parking lights but also could not find a wire at the head light switch that would work.

The remote starter uses a relay switched positive signal to control the lights.

thanks for any help

The headlamps are controlled by the SJB. (Smart Junction Box) The headlamp and multifunction switches are hard-wired to the SJB and are constantly monitored. The SJB processes information (such as low beam, high beam or flash-to-pass requests) from these switches and outputs the appropriate command to the headlamps (which are also hard-wired to the SJB). This is the same for the low and high beams and flash-to-pass positions. The SJB provides a lamp outage indication for the low beams. Fault management of the headlamps provides some headlamp functionality. In the event of all multifunction switch, all headlamp switch or ignition switch invalid or missing data failures, the exterior lamps will be illuminated. There is also a headlamp battery saver feature. This feature turns off the headlamps ten minutes after the ignition switch is turned OFF.

Autolamps and DRL are two functions which may be configured in the SJB
