Problems with Ford Explorer, can't find wire

Hello there,

I am new here, my name is Jurgen and I drive a 1992 Ford Explorer XLT with Autaomatic and 4x4.
I am by myself got a Problem and I hope, someone can help me.
I want install a Alarmsystem with Remote control and I can't find only this 2 wire's.

Here is what the installation manual say:
1.Brown wire: Second ignition output; connect to the wirethat switches +12V and does not drop out during cranking.

2.yellow wire: Main ignition output; connect to the main ignition
wire thatswitches +12V and does not drop out during cranking.

I hope someone can tell me where is this two wire located and wich color.
I am really Happy wen someone can help me.

Jurgen

Jurgen:

I can give you some generic information on alarm systems hook-up.
Most systems will disable 2 circuits in the vehicle.
1. Cranking circuit
2. Ignition/spark circuit.

The crank circuit is disabled by cutting the lead to the starter solenoid and splicing in a relay contact from the alarm system.

To disable the ignition, the same is done for the main power feed to the EDIS module (this needs to be a heavy duty relay contact) located in front of the battery on the radiator firewall.
Hope this helps some

Dialtone, thank you for your Message.
A good Friend of my install Alarm with remote Starter in his Chevy Blazer and have no Problems to find this two ignition wire.
He was looking by me too and he can't find this too. The wire by him was located about the ignition switch.
I don't know, but has Nobody in this Forum here a Alarmsystem install by herself ?
Iset really so hard to find this two wire ???
