Hey everyone, Tif0ez here.. I'm having troubles gaining access to my account, although I do need some speedy assistance with my project build..
From what I can remember, if you lose your chipped key, that to change it, you need to get 3 things (from the same explorer)
ECM, Transceiver (key "halo"), and chipped key..
I have acquired these 3 items, yet when I arrived home to install, everything was "plug & play" except the connection for the transceiver.. My build has a flat 4 pin plug, and the donor is also a 4 pin connection, although the pins are arranged in a square.. I have found the wiring for the 4 pin flat, for 12+, Ground, TX, & RX.. If anyone has the corresponding diagram for the squared connection??
For the 4 pin flat Type AA:
12+ = Brown/Orange
Ground = Red/Black
TX = Violet/Blue
RX = Brown/White
For the 4 pin square Type AE: (all solid color wires)
Blue
White
Red
Green
