Default Remote start help!

Hey everyone I just installed a remote start in my 1997 F150 and I'm having a few nit picky issues. Here's what the problems are:
1. I don't have running lights when I believe I have the right wire. (The solid brown wire on the back of the light switch)
2. I can't seem to fine the dark blue wire for the horn. There's a million blue wires under here.
3. When ever I remote start the truck I can't shut it off with the key.
I.e. *Remote start* *put key in and put to on* then I go to turn off the truck via the key and it doesn't shut off.
There are two yellow wires that connect to 2 red wires. The two yellow wires are connected together from factory so I connected both red then connected them to the two yellow. Does the 2 yellow wires need to be seperated?

These things can have lots of possible functions, usually only a couple are used.
There is often configuration setup programming needed to make functions work.

Sometimes different models from same mfg dont support same things, even though a blanket manual covers all.

What model and brand might help someone help you. Or not.

I'm using a crimestopper rs4-G5 and i believe I found out a few of the issues i.e. The break/ kill with key. I didn't have the right purple wire plugged in (my mistake for doing this in the dark) and the lights I have to hook up a positive. I thought I wouldn't have to because everything I found on my truck never said anything about the positive. But as for the horn i still don't know
