Firstech FTIntegration Harness Installation Guide and Illustration Legend

Introduction

This document provides a rundown of common features and components found in FTIntegration harness installation guides. It aims to clarify the guide layout and graphic elements, reducing potential confusion during installation.

Labels & Markers

Labels

These are similar to labels attached directly to the harnesses. White labels describe specific connections, connector placement, or firmware for the installer and are meant to limit confusion during installation.

• PRK LT/PWR
• WTS (+)
• CH4
• CH5
• BLADE
• BLADE 1
• BLADE 2
• N14 BLADE
• IGN A
• MUX
• GM7/12
• GM8
• MA3
• HA8
• NI3
• NI8/9

Markers

These identify connections not specified elsewhere. Gray markers describe circuit type, function, and behavior of wires not marked or not provided, also intended to limit confusion.

• START
• WTS (-)
• PK LIGHT OUTPUT
• PK LIGHT INPUT
• LOCK
• UNLOCK
• ARM
• STATUS
• WTS (+)
• REARM
• PK LIGHTS (-)
• PK LIGHTS (+)
• OPEN
• AUTO LT
• CAN H/L
• HOOD

Note: White labels exist on harnesses; Gray markers indicate wires not marked with labels, provide circuit/feature descriptions, or denote additional wiring not included with the harness kit.

Wires

All circuit wiring in the guides uses colors associated with the product or vehicle wiring. The guide illustrations are optimized for mobile devices with pan/zoom but also include wire color labels for black & white printing or users with color vision deficiencies.

Wire depiction examples:

• White wire: Straight, non-terminated
• White/red: Wire that has been cut
• White/black & black: Wires connected (indicated by a dot)
• Red & yellow: Wires crossed (not connected)
• Blue & green: Not included or alternate connection
• Brown/red & brown/yellow: Wires twisted

Insulation color / Stripe color examples: white, white/red, white/black, white/violet, white/blue, black, black/gray, black/blue, black/green.

Details, Warnings, and Random Identifiers

Details

Details are presented in gray, white, or yellow boxes with a dashed border. They outline specific connection methods or procedures requiring more detail than space allows in the wiring diagram. Gray boxes are of minor concern, white boxes indicate moderate concern, and yellow boxes require increased attention. These suggest preferred methods but not the only way to complete work, provided safety and industry best practices are followed.

Example Detail Box Content: +12V, STATUS, FT-RLY-10A. Auto-Light Detail: white/violet, violet/green.

Example Headlight Switch Connector: Type 1, Type 2, PK LIGHTS (-) TYPE 1 or TYPE 2.

Example Warning: "Hey! Remember that thing I said about breaking the car if you work on it without disconnecting the battery first? Yeah, it's true."

Example Warning: "Don't touch it, you'll break it. I mean it! Don't touch it!"

Example Warning: "Eeny meeny miney moe, eat a burrito on the go!"

Example Warning: "LED Programming Error Codes MA3"

Example Warning: "WARNING: Disconnect vehicle battery before disconnecting any of the connectors at the START/STOP Unit. Failure to do so may result in damage to the vehicle's keyless entry system."

Example Warning: "Covered vehicles use BLADE-AL)DL-MA3, flash module before installing."

Example Warning: "Headlight switch removal and parking light connections are detailed in a video published in the FirsTechFeed Group on Facebook, address as follows: https://www.facebook.com/nbfrazier/videos/10100532802746275/"

Example Warning: "Optional Hazard light connection: The MAP1 harness is provisioned to utilize the vehicle hazard lights for status and diagnostic display if desired. The pin terminated green/white wire needs to be inserted into any POC available in the controller's I/O connector, and the selected POC setting Hazard1, POC option #30 (momentary), or Hazard2, POC option #23 (latching), depending on how the factory vehicle dash, cabin space, or under the hood, shown in the component locater illustration."

Warnings

Warnings boxes are yellow and include a yellow identifier button directing the installer to associated notes or directives for special procedures or harness configuration. These are critical for safe and efficient installation, preventing vehicle damage and ensuring intended system performance.

Random Identifiers

Guide illustrations use identifiers to help installers locate specific notes or information. Yellow buttons link to notes at the top of the wiring diagram (lettered A, B, C, etc.) and indicate option choices. Black buttons associate components shown in the right info bar with their approximate location in the vehicle (dash, cabin, under hood).

Lines & Connectors

Lines

Wires are depicted using various colors and styles to illustrate installation requirements. Physical connections (crimp, solder, etc.) are indicated by a black dot [•]. Wires crossing without a dot are not connected. Unused wires should be trimmed and secured for safety.

Visual representation examples:

• White wire: straight, non-terminated
• White/red: wire that has been cut
• White/black & black: wires connected (indicated by a dot [•])
• Red & yellow: wires crossed (not connected)
• Blue & green: not included or alternate connection
• Brown/red & brown/yellow: wires twisted

Connection indicators: T-taps are shown as connection points.

Connectors

Connectors are shown as they appear in real life for easy identification. Inline male and female housings are meant to connect; misaligned ones are not. Connectors should be secured to prevent entanglement or shorts. Pointers [▶️] illustrate connections between harness connectors and vehicle components.

Visual representation examples: Red circles indicate no connection; green dashed lines indicate connections. Pointers [▶️] show mating points.
