Wiring info for remote start

I added a remote start to my 2001 F150 XL. The remote starter says to use the negitive wire for the parking lights to flash, the form I got to wire it up says use the brown (positive) wire for the lights, its spliced into the brown & they don't work. Another question I had the door panel off, noticed that there is a harness going to the lock, is that for the dome light and door ajar light? Does it have power wires in that harness for power door locks even though it has no lock switches? Last question, I have to hook up the tach wire for the remoter start. The blue and green wire at the tach is the wire they say to use for the tach signal, does it stay the same color into the pcm from under the hood than out the pcm under the dash or does it change colors under the dash at the pcm?
