What color wires are at your ignition switch?

The last owner had a remote starter installed and his connections are visable for at least 2 wires at the ignition, (probably just start and run: 1 is pink on Lt green, other is blue on Dark green), the brake light one, and under the hood for tach,

There are daytime running lights so I don't need that one, the hood switch is easy, as is running straight from the battery.

But the 2 possible heater wires, if even needed (the last one i installed on my 90 f150 never had these, no tach sense option as well), and the possibility of diodes and modules is more then I wanna deal with. I can figure out the negative sense as well.

PS: It's a high of -33C here lately and I have no garage.

I took back the remote start and will get a package deal installed, unless I can get a definative wiring diagram. I will brave the cold and check out the colors tomorrow, I would like to save the $100 plus for the install if I can.

thanks for the responses.
