On my v6 2008 mustang convertible. I have different colored wires on my ignition harness. Didn't just want to cut into things without finding out info. The instructions are color coded different for the red and green wires to my mustang. A little help would be appreciated? I need to know where I can find the right size coil springs for the push button as well. I lost them when my niece somehow got a hold of the harness... "kids" 1 answer

• It is possible the Mustangs have different wire coloring than these instructions, or even an official Ford wiring diagram would show. Unfortunately we don't exactly know as to why the colors are different, our guess is while your Mustang was being manufactured in the factory, the factory ran out of the designated colored wiring and they just used whatever color wiring was available until a new batch of wires came in. However, whatever that reason may be, it's possible contacting a dealership with your VIN would allow them to lend you exactly what colors represent what. It's not a guarantee but's it's definitely worth a shot. Otherwise, if you have a volt meter, or take it to a shop where than can do some tests with a volt meter, you'd be able to get those wires manually identified.

Will this drain the battery? Exactly as the question states, when this illuminates, is it going to drain the battery? I know you can wire it to turn off when the e-brake is not engaged, but when the car is off and the e-brake is engaged, does it drain the battery? 2 answers

• Not at all.

• According to the AM site, the button will stay illuminated ONLY when the ignition key is in the ignition...pull out the key and the light should go off (not draining the battery while the car is not in use)...OR... ...you can get the light to go out once the emergency brake is released. This allows the light to come on (once the ignition key is inserted) and then to go off once you release the parking brake and drive. Finish driving, pull the key out and the light goes off. Hope this helped. Sky President

Does the key have to be in the ignition ? So does the key have to be in the ignition in order for this to work? I want to be able to just get in my car and push the button, not still put my key in. Also it says start from your remote as well. Does this mean i would have to buy the remote seperate? Or is this just a button? 2 answers

• YES! I ready this question before buying it and I thought i would be able to not use the key at all and just get into my car and push start it (i didn't care about the security side to it) but you can not do this. I also realized the button is ONLY a start it does not turn off the car there for you have to have the key in

• Yes You have to turn the key to accessories (right before the ignition)
