Alarm Installation Help - Identifying a Wire...
I'm in the process of installing a Viper alarm in my '13 F250 Lariat. Everything is hooked up and working except for the tie in for the door pin. The instructions tell me its the Green/Violet wire in the driver's door kick panel harness, or alternatively I can tie it into the same wire at the BCM in the passenger kick panel. Well, i'd prefer to keep it on the driver's side (along with all the other connections...), but in the harness there are no less than 5 Green/Violet wires. Any idea on how to determine which one?
For a 2013 you could have picked up a Ford alarm kit and had it installed in your driveway in about 5 minutes. I don't think many people know it is an option that is available for all 2011+ F-150's and Super Duty's. No wire splicing needed. Pick up an optional LED light for another few bucks to complete the package.
