Success!
Thank you Magic930 & Rcaradimos for your detailed installation.
Here is my experience and verification of some issues:
The Black Widow BW854, does come with some poor installation instructions for our P-Cars but tech support is great.
*Basic Features - 8 wires in total:
3 to Ground Connection= Black, Violet & Violet/Black
2 to Power Source = Red & Yellow
2 to Power Lock Control = Blue & Green
1 to Parking Lights = White via Diodes
Valet Button is needed for Programing and the LED is helpfull to see if programing was accepted by the module.
I placed my LED where the interior cab temperature sensor would have been.
*Remote Transmitter Layout - is definitely not marked properly, the Unlock is Button 2 and not the Trunk Button (actually #3) as stated in the manual. This is very important for proper programming of the module.
*Valet Mode - To turn off or "override" valet mode you must hold the switch for over 5 (5-10 per tech support at BW) seconds and not 3 seconds as stated in the manual. This is the only way to turn off the LED Light when in Valet Mode.
*Diodes - Radio Shack was out of stock and did not know when they will get some so I went to my local ham radio/electronics store and purchased some 3 amp diodes. The tech stated it is more than I will ever need. He said 1 amp would do just fine but to be safe he sold me 2 3amp diodes. I used the blue crimp and folded to double the thickness of the white (parking light control) wire to fit properly. Remember the silver marked end toward the fuse terminals (Panel 2 Fuse 5 & 6).
I used Rcaradimos method of connecting the module's red (constant +12v) wire to the Clock Fuse terminal ('85's Panel 1 Fuse 1) and the yellow (switched, ignition monitor) wire to the Windshield Washer terminal (Panel 1 Fuse 7 jumper, the terminal right between Fuse 7 & 8 as described by Rcaradimos).
I also programmed the module not to auto lock when ignition is turned on.
The range is pretty poor, 10 to 20 feet but it's OK as long as I do not have to put my key in the handle and stop scratching the paint is all I wanted anyways.
Lights and LED works perfectly.
Hope this helps someone. I had difficult time because the buttons were not marked properly but once figured out and spoke to tech line. It was a snap.
I am very happy with the results.
Thanks again fellas,
