i have already used the search and printed out wire colors and all the help i think i need. i got my dei 561r today, and would like some more info on the wires i might need to use and not use. i have an 05 xe kc no power anything. the remote start has 7 deifferent wiring harnesses. any body have a clue as to which i need to use not use? i'm not electronics stupid but would like to go into this project fairly well prepared. if you can or want to help the manual can be seen at the dei website for model 561r. thanks and merry christmas to anyone that can help.

That's a great post Chris. It will help me when I install my unit.

why can't you select the door lock + and - under the dash and not inside the door? Don't all the wires come into the cab?

hehe...I asked that question when installing my unit...the tech who helped me said.." alright to begin, u need to know how door locks work..." In our trucks their are a lot of relays, resistors, and such and power gets cut down from the switch down till when it gets into the cab SO u wont get a reliable 6-12V feed if u tap into the same wire somewhere down the line...U can look up how our truck is setup or how door locks work and figure it out more but thats the best I can do right now, Im just waking up...Hope that helps any though and if not maybe someone else can chime in...

Thanks, now I understand. Guess is like too long a run of speaker wire.
I need to look and see how to get the wires through the door, the jamb and kick panel. For some reason, the pictures of the install in the previous post won't open today.

This is the most informative post I've ever seen in a forum. This took away dozens of questions.
As stated before, it's as if you were here to do it for us. Thank you.

Sorry the Pics went down, I'm using a free file hosting site now. Should be back up. I'm more than happy to help, this site and it's members have helped me out, so I'm just paying it forward.

Tech left out some info...

The reason for using the wires from switch module is that it is the only place you can get a normal ground signal from the key cylinder switch. This ground signal is detected by the door switch module and sent as a serial digital signal to the BCM. Trying a wire in between could fry the door module.

where is the neutral safety switch. my remote start says to hook a wire up to it. i can't find it i need help. lights on dash come on and then go off
 
#16 ·
just ground the neutral safety switch. normally, it should be connected to the wire that shows ground whenever the shifter is in Park but most modern vehicles have this feature built in.
 
#18 ·
If all the dash lights come on but no start, make sure that the bypass module (Transponder Part #: 556U or 555U) is installed correctly and working, make sure you have the extra key installed. As for the programming of the alarm just set the neutral safety switch to (-) and ground it to the frame. All the alarm will do before it starts is make sure theres a negitive ground, (and there will be when you ground it), then the truck will start. I can't get a wiring diagram for your remote start model "Valet 561r" off of directeds website, if you can scan yours and let me see it I can help you through this.

Which model trim level is your truck, XE, SE, or LE? Just to save time, if your truck is SE or LE, Have you tried placing a key against the ignition switch and tried to start with the remote? Maybe the truck does have the immobilizer and you're not aware of it. I still believe you will get this working and not need a shop to do it.

xe trim level. in the wiring list on previous posts it lists a second starter wire, does this need to be hooked to something?
you are right that you don't have an immobilizer because your trim level is an XE.

yes, the 2nd starter wire needs to be hooked up. it should be done so using a standard 30A automotive relay. it will have numbers for the contacts and it should be wired up as such:

30 = +12V (constant) from ignition harness
85 = +12V from 1st starter wire
86 = ground
87 = connect to 2nd starter wire
87a = no connect

Does the r/s turn over the engine? If so, then the neutral safety wire isn't the problem, and you can look elsewhere. If it doesn't, check the manual for a configuration setting. If it is currently configured for a +12v and you are grounding it, the r/s will always think the shifter is out of neutral, and it won't turn over.

To confirm if you need a transponder bypass, pull off the vinyl fascia surrounding the ignition switch (if you hadn't already done so) and look for a black plastic housing surrounding the ignition switch. (see pic below) If so, you have the antitheft system and will need a transponder bypass. The loops of wire you see around the transponder is part of my bypass device.

i do confirm mine does not have the anti theft. i did ground the neutral safety wire to the frame. the motor does not turn over but the relays under the hood can be heard as well as the ones in the remote start and the dash lights blink. the error code given by the unit is -/+. but the manual does not give an explanation of what that is.

try "learning the tach" feature in the manual. it might not help but worth a try.
