Anybody know where I can get my hands on a harness for an aux. idle controler? I bought one but when it got here it didn't have the harness.

 

I have the part number at home. I will post it when I get off tomorrow morning.

 

Thanks, I'll be waiting.

 

I do apoligze for the late post. Snow came and put me way behind. The number I have for the harness is (XC3F14A649AA) This was in front of it but I don't think it's needed
57C-02955 REV.A . From what I have read I don't know if you can buy just the harness. You might have to call your dealer and see what the number does. If you need anymore help please let me know. Again sorry for the delay.

 

I don't think my harness still has a part number on it. But I will still check.

 

Thanks Seth, no need to appoligize we just got snowed on here as well.

 

So for the people who have this already, no regrets? I just feel weird tapping into the wires and tricking the computer. Or am I wrong in how this works, I definitely am considering this mod though.

 

I have no regrets. I love the adjustability of it and it doesn't take up that much space. My 7.3 didn't work when I tried the wire way. If I remember correctly you have to have a pto enabled tranny for it to work with just the wires on the 7.3. The AIC module was plug and play, probably would be less then a 20 min install. Any questions just let me know.

 

As far as I know, there are several ways to obtain the high idle features.

1. Custom Tuner
2. PTO Circuit switch
3. AIC
4. DIY kit

Of the methods listed above, I like the Custom Tuner the best because it accomplishes high idle without also increasing the EPC signal to the trans.
The PTO circuit switch method is super easy but it only works on a truck with a PTO 4R100. You don't actually need a PTO device installed...just an automatic transmission with PTO capabilities.
The AIC controller is a Ford module and works perfectly for the high idle feature...but it also increases EPC at the trans so you want to be aware of that potential issue. On hot days you may puke fluid out the front seal when using high idle with A/C blasting....
The DIY kits can be harmful to other components if installed incorrectly so I generally don't recommend that method unless one is super comfortable with electronics.

I had an AIC controller but sold it on ebay a while back. It occupied too much space in the cab. We sometimes have 6 passengers in my wife's truck and the AIC was right where my daughter feet needed to go. Turns out that my wife's truck has a PTO transmission so I simply wired up the switch for high idle. I hardly ever use it though....

My F250 pickup and (recently sold) F450 have a high idle setting on their PHP chips and I preferred that method the best.

 

What RPM do you recommend for a custom chip high idle 900,1000,1100,1200 ? I only ask because my ts6 has the high idle at 1200 rpm. I was wondering if it is to high. I know on our international fire truck it is 1200 and the cummins are 900-1000.

 

I like 1100-1200 range.

 

I have an aux idle controller and have ran it on 100* days, idling the truck for hours with AC blasting. Never had any problems. That was in my late 99.

Now have a 2003 with an aux idle controller installed. I don't use it because I have a DP Tuner with two high idle tunes.

1100 RPMS that closes the exhaust valve for faster warm up, and the second one is just 1100 RPMS for extended idling.

If I could do it again I would keep the 1100 RPMS idle tune and have DP Tuner write me a custom second idle tune. One that would idle at 1100, close the exhaust valve, but open it back up once the engine oil temp reaches 100*.

 

I KNOW this thread 6+ years old but I just bought the factory Ford Controller-its the model with ALL the buttons-probably never use half of them.....

I just want to be able to raise the idle while parked with the a/c on while we're traveling with our cat while we go into a restaurant.

The one I bought is brand new and never installed or used.

There are 2 harnesses coming off of it-1 has a round plug on it and 1 has just loose wires....

The guy I bought it from printed me out a huge manual on it and darned if I can find any actual INSTALLATION instructions....

Can anyone help?? I'd sure appreciate it. (Truck is a Late '99 F-350) Thanks Guys!!

 

@Supercab there was a thread on here about 6 months ago concerning a lot of the wiring and function of the unit you bought.

I am away from home and unable to find it on my phone.

@Y2KW57 had a lot of details and great advice on the wiring. If you search for posts by him in the past 6 months or so and look for what you need you should find your answers.

Good luck to you!
