2000 Ford Explorer, Autopage Alarm/Starter

I live in a town, dont have any installers, few installers, last guy burned my onboard computer. :(

Could someone please provide the complete wiring diagrams with good details for 2000 Ford Explorer 4dr.

Will be installing alarm/remote starter before the cold Canadian winter hits.

Thank You,
Vic

According to wiring info, the following is the the positive for parking lights:

PURPLE / white in driver kick panel on a 2000 ford explorer.

I used a volt meter to check, I found two PURPLE / white wires, however both are running 12 volt through them, they are both positive, are they suppose to have 12 volts running through them even though parking light switch is off?

thanks

WHITE/ black or brown at the light switch.

That did not work, are these wires suppose to have current flowing through them even though parking lights are not activated?

This works:

Parking Lamp

WHITE/ BLACK (+)

AT HEADLIGHT SWITCH

 

But I have NOT tried this:
PURPLE / WHITE (+) Wire In Driver Kick Panel Can Also Be Used For Park Lights.
WHITE/ Purple ( - ) Wire In Driver Kick Panel Can Also Be Used For Park Lights

Hello

I need help with autopage 20 molex connector. None of the wires match the install manual for the 20 molex connector. Know I looked closely on the molex connector itself and it does number it from 1 to 20 but I dont want to ask you before I make a mistake of plugging it in. Let me show the current config of the wires.

__________M___________
|20                         11|
|10                           1|
-------------------

m is the clip that secures it, now according to the install manual

1) WHITE/ black
2) WHITE/ Violet
3) BLACK/ White

and so on, none of these wires match, even if I dont want to follow the wire code on the molex connector, I still can't match the wires according to the install manual. Should I just go with the diagram above.

Thank You.

i found it, stupid me, I had to shut off the automatic parking control module which turns on the lights with truck running. my stupidity.

Thanks guys

my attempt at creating the 20 ping connector sucked, but you guys get the idea.

If you guys click on the link below:

https://www.autopageusa.com/resources/RS855LCD_Install_rv72104.pdf

Check out page 6, on this page you guys guys could see that H10 is a 20 ping connector. On page 7 it details what the 20 pins connector with all the wires listed.

Now when I look at the 20 pin connector provided, it doesnt match the wiring coloring on page 7.

looking at the plastic plug that fits into the h10, it has the following numbers on it.

|-----------|
20-------11
11--------1
|-----------|

Now when I look at the wire coming out of pin 1, it doesn't match the color of the wire listed on page 7.

Now the question arises, should I follow the connector, or should I use the wire color, by the way these wires are all over the place, one would think wire 1 would follow with wire 2 according the color code listed through page 7.

This is the reason I am asking guys out there that have been installing these alarms.

I searched the forums and came across another post by a member with the same problem, no one ever responded to his post, so here I am. I have left him a private message to check if he found the answer.

Anyways I am looking forward to a response from Autopage installer.

Thanks

Cool thank you, I just wanted to be carefull

hello

Just finished installing Autopage 855-lcd on 2000 Ford Explorer.

Couple of questions I have though.

can't find a location to mount led, where do you guys normally mount your led and valet switch.

second what screw would u use to mount the siren to firewall, would u use self tapping metal screw or drill, then screw metal screw.

also should i use the firewall groumet thhat is currently being used for e-brake and pull the wire through it or should i drill a new hole to only put 2 wires through.

third, this one is quite irritating, I wired it for two step unlock to mimick the factory unlock. when I press the unlock once, it only unlocks the driver door, but when it press unlock again within 3 second, it unlocks all the door except it sends the unlock pulse 3 times, which is irritating, do I need to program this somehow to send one pulse only rather then 3 times.

thank you.

This was first time installing a alarm, It took longer then I wanted too, but I went out of my way to wire everything in. I put in too many relays but hey they all work.

Autopage doesn't list their wires in order of pinout. I'm not really sure why they list them in the order that they do, because they also don't seem to be listed in the order of probable connection location in the vehicle.

Like bobk said, just go with the wire colors.

Hello,

I setup the autopage, everything went smooth.

I am few issues though.

I set up the alarm for two step unlock.

When i press the unlock button once, it only unlocks the driver side door, great, send one pulse, great, when I press unlock again within 3 seconds, it sends the unlock pulse 3 times when it only need to send the unlock pulse once making my unlock motor go nuts.

2.) My tap here page sensor doesn't work, it looks ugly anyways, could I use someone elses page sensor, do I have to turn it on in the settings somewhere because I didnt see it in programming. I knocked and knocked, never got a page, ahh well.

Other then these problems, everything else is working perfectly.
