DO NOT PLUG THE SIX PIN MAIN POWER HARNESS OR THE MULTI PIN INPUT / OUTPUT HARNESS INTO THE
CONTROL MODULE UNTIL ALL CONNECTIONS TO THE VEHICLE HAVE BEEN MADE. AFTER SELECTING YOUR
TARGET WIRES AS DEFINED BELOW, DISCONNECT THE NEGATIVE BATTERY CABLE FROM THE VEHICLE BAT-
TERY PRIOR TO MAKING ANY CONNECTIONS.

WIRING THE 6 PIN MAIN POWER HARNESS:

Note: Do not remove the fuse holders from this wire harness. Fuses must be used and located as
close as possible to the power source for adequate protection of the vehicle.
Fused RED w/ WHITE TRACE WIRE: + 12 volt Battery 1 Source
Locate the vehicle battery wire(s) at the ignition switch. Verification: These wires will register voltage in all
positions of the ignition switch. Connect the Red w/White wire to the vehicle's battery wire. This wire provides
power for the control circuit as well as the ignition 1 and ignition 2 relays.
Fused RED WIRE: + 12 Volt Battery 2 Source
Locate the vehicle battery wire(s) at the ignition switch. Verification: These wires will register voltage in all
positions of the ignition switch. Connect the Red wire to the vehicle's battery wire. This wire provides power
for the start relay and the accessory relay.
IT IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE INSTALLING TECHNICIAN TO DETERMINE THE LOAD FACTOR OF
THE VEHICLES ELECTRICAL CIRCUITS WHEN THE VEHICLE IS RUNNING AND TO ADEQUATELY FUSE
THE TWO POWER WIRES BASED ON THAT LOAD. IF THE VEHICLE, RUNNING UNDER LOAD WITH
THE AIR CONDITIONER, HEATER BLOWER MOTOR, AND ACCESSORIES EXCEEDS 24 AMPS CONTINU-
OUS, WE RECOMMEND THAT TWO FUSES BE USED IN COMBINATION ON EACH POWER WIRE AS
SHOWN BELOW. FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION SEE TECH UPDATE ISSUED 9/30/96.
YELLOW WIRE:
Starter Output
Careful consideration for the connection of this wire must be made to prevent the vehicle from starting while in
gear. Understanding the difference between a mechanical and an electrical Neutral Start Switch will allow you
to properly identify the circuit and select the correct installation method. In addition you will realize why the
connection of the safety wire is required for all mechanical switch configurations.
Failure to make this connection properly can result in personal injury and property damage. In all installations it is the
responsibility of the installing technician to test the remote start unit and assure that the vehicle cannot start via RF
control in any gear selection other than park or neutral.
In both mechanical and electrical neutral start switch configurations, the connection of the Yellow wire will be made
to the low current start solenoid wire of the ignition switch harness. This wire will have +12 volts when the ignition
switch is turned to the start (crank) position only. This wire will have 0 volts in all other ignition switch positions.
NOTE:
This wire must be connected to the vehicle side of the starter cut relay (when used). For the electrical neutral
switch configuration, this connection must be made between the starter inhibit relay, (when used) and the
neutral safety switch as shown in the following diagram.
Failure to connect this wire to the ignition switch side of the neutral safety switch can result in personal injury and
property damage.
SEE NEUTRAL START SAFETY TEST FOR FURTHER DETAILS.
