WIRING THE SYSTEM

Making the connections to the vehicle, as described in this wiring
section, may be beyond the technical abilities of the average consumer.
If you have any questions with the wiring procedures, please call a
qualified automotive technician, or call the AUDIOVOX HOT LINE at 1
- 800 - 225 - 6074. Prior to making any connections, a 12 Volt logic probe
should be used to confirm the proper connection point.
IMPORTANT ! The 9 pin white connector on the end of the main harness
that plugs into the siren control module should remain disconnected
during the wiring portion of the installation. Leaving this disconnected will
ensure that the keychain transmitters are properly programmed later in
the installation.

1. Routing The Wiring Harness

The DARK BLUE, GRAY, ORANGE, BROWN, and WHITE wires must
be routed through the firewall, and into the passenger compartment of
the vehicle.
In most cases, the RED wire will also be routed into the passenger
compartment, to the courtesy light fuse. Before proceeding with the wire
routing, verify the location of the courtesy light fuse, as a small
percentage of vehicles locate this fuse in the engine compartment, and
in these cases, it will not be necessary to route the RED wire through the
firewall.
If you have installed a pin switch into the trunk, you will also need to route
the DARK GREEN extension wire through the firewall, and to the
previously installed trunk pin switch.
After confirming these component locations, route the DARK BLUE,
WHITE, GREY and RED wires towards their connection points. Caution
should be used when routing wires. Keep wires away from all hot
surfaces, and any moving parts of the vehicle ( radiator fans, accelerator
or brake pedal linkage, etc. ).
When routing wires through the firewall, be sure to pass the wires
through an existing rubber grommet. Failure to do this can result in
damage to wires from sharp metal edges, and an eventual failure of the
security system.

2. Connecting the RED Wire

Locate the courtesy lamp fuse. Both sides of the fuse will indicate + 12
Volts on the logic probe while the fuse is plugged in. Remove the fuse,
and test the contacts that the fuse plugs into. One of the contacts will
not indicate + 12 Volts. This is where the RED wire will be connected.
Connection Method A;
A. Locate the wire coming from this fuse terminal at the back of the
fusebox.
B. Splice the RED wire from the harness to this wire, and insulate with
electrical tape.
Connection Method B;
A. " Fuse clip " terminals, which will plug in with the contacts of the
fuse, are available at most electronics stores. This method of
connection may be easier in some vehicles.
B. Refer to the specific instructions included with the fuse clip
terminals.

3. Connecting the BLACK Wire

The larger BLACK wire ( not the thin black antenna wire ), should have
been connected to ground during the siren module mounting procedure.
If you were unsure of the ground reliability of the siren module mounting
bracket, you can connect the eyelet on the end of the BLACK wire to any
non painted bolt on the firewall or fender, which is threaded directly into
a metal surface of the vehicle.
