Anyone know about remote starters?

I put a Ready Remote model 24926 on my 96 F150. The starter works but the heater blower doesn't come on until I put the key in. I think I have the correct accessory wire because the radio is on. I know it has two accessory wires but the other one is a 18ga wire, seems kind of small for a heater/ac wire. Anyone have any ideas? TIA

To test which wire you need you have to have the key turned off and power up the acc wires with a jumper wire with the heater turned on. And if I remember correctly the radio and heater are seperate. When I did my 88 remote start they were anyway. Haven't done the 94s yet.

Got it fixed, there were two acc. wires and I had the one for the radio hooked up. Guess I could have just spliced them together but what do I need a radio for if I am not in the truck? lol
