Adding a remote starter course lets you to turn on the vehicle without duration in the Chauffeur's seat.
Having to airing gone to begin your Mercury Mountaineer during the frigid winter months makes a remote starter method added charming, remarkably during times of winter velocity. Although remote starter systems can vary according to particular features that are offered, most of the installation modus operandi is quite allied. It is primary to communication that practice with electronics, circuitry and van electrical harness systems is a copious plus for efficacious completion of this project.
Instructions
1. Amount your course specifically for the 2003 Mercury Mountaineer, production trustworthy that the immobilizer relay and remote starter method are compatible with Everyone other extremely as the vehicle itself. The immobilizer relay is at fault for bypassing the microchip security point in newer vehicles that prevents the ignition from turning on without the ignition leading in the lock cylinder of the ignition switch. Whether you conclude not install the relay, you Testament not be able to adoption the remote starter system.
2. Disconnect the negative terminal cable from the battery. Pry off the airbag electrical connection panel, located on the side of the steering wheel and disconnect the vehicle's electrical connection with the airbag. Wait ten minutes to allow built up charges to dissipate.
3. Install the immobilizer bypass module using the Mountaineer's vehicle electrical diagram, which can be found at an auto parts store such as AutoZone. Some immobilizer bypass modules are relatively easy to install inside the steering column of the Mountaineer and only use three installation wires to connect to the ignition switch. The specific installation process for your immobilizer should follow exact instructions from the manufacturer.5. Use the mounts in the remote starter kit to secure the receiver unit near the engine control system. Depending on your remote starter receiver and mounting system, you may need to drill mounting holes into the door frame of the vehicle.6.
Run the wiring from the bypass module to the driver side door to connect with the remote starter receiver.4. Use a screwdriver to remove the panels from the door, which will expose the engine control system within.
Use the owner's manual for the remote starter system to decide which features you want to install. Use a piece of tape and marker to mark each wire from the receiver unit that corresponds with a specific feature you want to use. Use the same tape and marker system to designate which wires on the engine control system need to be spliced with the remote starter receiver's wires.
7. Use a wire stripper to cut off two inches of insulation from the ends of the wires on the receiver unit. Cut and strip the wires on the engine control unit that correspond to the features from the remote starter kit. Splice the wires together, so that the receiver unit wires twist around the joined wires that were snipped leading to the engine control system. Use wire nuts to screw onto the joined wires and cover them with electrical tape.
8. Screw on the eyelet for the negative battery cable and test all of the features of your remote starter system. Some remote starter systems utilize flashing taillights as troubleshoot codes, which can help diagnose any problems with the installation.
