step-by-step guild on installing a bulldog remote starter for a 1997 ford f150?

Answer 1

what model starter, Feel free to email me. I used to install these for a living.All main connections should be soldered.


F SERIES 1994 -1996
12 VOLT CONSTANT YELLOW (+) IGNITION SWITCH HARNESS
STARTER RED/LIGHT BLUE (+) IGNITION SWITCH HARNESS
IGNITION 1 RED/LIGHT GREEN (+) IGNITION SWITCH HARNESS
IGNITION 2 BLACK/LIGHT GREEN (+) IGNITION SWITCH HARNESS
IGNITION 3 N/A
ACCESSORY/HEATER BLOWER 1 GRAY/YELLOW (+) IGNITION SWITCH HARNESS
PARKING LIGHTS ( + ) BROWN (+) @ HEADLIGHT SWITCH or in DRIVERS KICK PANEL
POWER LOCK PINK/YELLOW (TYPE C) See NOTE *1 IN EITHER KICK PANEL
POWER UNLOCK PINK/LIGHT GREEN (TYPE C) See NOTE *1 IN EITHER KICK PANEL
DOOR TRIGGER BLACK/LIGHT BLUE (+) IN DRIVERS KICK PANEL HORN DARK BLUE (-) @ STEERING COLUMN HARNESS
TACH TAN/YELLOW @ IGNITON COIL
BRAKE LIGHT GREEN (+) @ SWITCH ABOVE BRAKE PEDAL
FACTORY ALARM DISARM DARK GREEN/PURPLE (-) IN DRIVERS DOOR HARNESS

NOTE *1 If equipped with FACTORY KEYLESS ENTRY, Vehicle is a TYPE "B" Door Locking System, WITHOUT FACTORY KEYLESS, This is a TYPE C Door Locking System and you MUST get the lock and unlock wires in the PASSENGER KICK PANEL (Parking Brake Braket is in the way) you MUST also TEST for SWITCH and MOTOR wires ONLY with the DRIVERS DOOR SWITCH. On this TYPE C System you MUST TEST from the DRIVERS DOOR Switch only when testing for SWITCH and MOTOR wires.

Keep in mind you are going to need a Transponder By Pass module in order to by pass your ignition switch. You will also need a spare key as you need one inside theby pass kit to fool your ohms resitance in your key switch.

It is a very simple hook up you will need to remove the steering wheel shroud, & remove ignition.The easy way to remove ignition is press the silver button on the underside with key in run position, with button pressed a simple tug should do ya.

Then you want to wrap antenna wire on the plastic housing as close to key switch as possible, then secure with a good zip tie.This can be a trial & error process, You simply have to find the sweet spot, so to say.

Transponder is a simple 3 wire hook up .Power , ground & factory alarm shutdown wire.If vehicle will not start put key in ignition & if it starts then you know it is a transponder by pass problem.DO NOT CUT TRANSPONDER ANTENNA....

keep in mind depending on the unit you install, you may need relays for your door locks to function properly.
