What Extra wires no need to be connected (Mandatory)? FORD EDGE 2013

Question

I am trying to install my EVO into my Ford EDGE 2013, according the manual athttp://fortin.ca/download/34421/evo-all_ig_tsa_bi_for1-80bits_c_34421.pdf, and I am having a problem, so I have some questions if you don't mind in answer please:

1) I am wiring only the connections for CAN high and Low (C3 and C4), and A1, A20 and A10 to the 20 pin connector ( not wiring/connecting A17, A18,A5, A19, A8, A14 and Parking lights). It should work with these connections out or they are not optional?

2) Manual shows Yellow/BLACK wire to be connected to YELLOW ( not yellow black) into 20 pin ( is that correct?)

3) I am able to proceed with all programing steps and leds as shown in the manual, but when I Press Lock 3x, nothing happens, the engine does not start. Am I missing some mandatory connection?. What are the mandatory and optional connections in this schema ?

 

 

 

Answer 1

A lot of the extra wires are optional, not needed, or for manual wiring. For example, a lot of cars don't need the door locks manually wired because door locks can be controlled through OBD2 wires...but you could manually wire them still. If you don't, then you'd have extra wires....

 

Do you have the flash link programmer? You need to enable the 3x lock feature and OEM remote monitoring in order to get that feature working.

Comments

Oh NO. I do not have the programmer. The unit suposed to come already programmed, no?..

So , yesterday I checked all cables again. I am now with those 3 pins for the 20 pin connected (Blue, Light Blue and Yellow/black) and those Can High / LOW. I am able to go trought the programm as shown in some internet videos and fortin doc. ( key1, 3sec, key2, 3 sec, Key 1, bue light, them orange solid).. when I take the key out, all leds goes off and pressing 3x lock, nothing!.. junst the sound of locking and horn as usual.

Answer 2

Yellow/Black from t-harness is connected to Yellow wire on the t-harness (pin A1)

 

Yellow from t-harness is not used.

Please provide us the 12 digit service number on the bottom of the actual unit so we can check the firmware and options enabled.

 

Thank you.

This is the back of the device

Answer 3

With the 001a06623444 service number, i dont see the 3x lock start options enabled.

You can see this here, no options are visible at all: http://fortin.ca/en/support/001a06623444/

 

To confirm this, as it's possible the options were enabled using a means that wouldnt update our unit status, take the dark blue wire from the 20-pin connector (pin A8) and ground it. Does the RED LED turn on when you do this?

Comments

Yes, When I gound the pin A8 ( dark Blue) the device goes to red led and car turn on but does not crank. I mean, All lights goes on, painel lighs, open door beeps, ( as happens when you insert the key and turn to on position).

But pressing 3x lock, nothing happens too.

Was it means ?. is there something I can do to fix my issue?

 

Thanks

Red LED turning On when grounding the Dark Blue wire means that the 3xlock feature is not enabled.

 

Option C1 and D1 need to be enabled. Flash-Link Updater required for this part.

Option C1 enabled monitoring of the OEM remote

Option D1 converts the EVO-ALL bypass module into a remote starter

I am buying a flash programmer now and as soos as it arrives, I will try to configure !

 

Thanks Much !

In the above comment you say C1 and D1 "need to be enabled"

Looks like they are enabled to me when you click on the link?
