GRAY w/ BLACK: Negative Shutdown Input 2

Any time the GRAY w/BLACK wire is grounded, the Remote Start system will stop operating, even if the signal is

received from the transmitter. If the brake light switch in the vehicle switches ground to the brake light circuit,

connect the GRAY w/BLACK wire to the output of the brake light switch. If the brake light switch in the vehicle

switches +12 Volts, do not use the GRAY w/BLACK wire; see BROWN w/RED wire.

BROWN Wire: Positive Shutdown Input 1

Any time +12 Volts is applied to the BROWN wire, the Remote Start system will stop operating, even if the signal

is received from the transmitter.If the vehicle has a factory installed hood pin switch, and that switch provides

+12 Volts to a light under the hood, the BROWN wire can be connected to the existing pin switch.

BROWN w/ RED Wire: Positive Brake Input

Any time +12 Volts is applied to the BROWN w/RED wire, the Remote Start system will stop operating, even if the

signal is received from the transmitter. If the brake light switch in the vehicle switches +12 Volts to the brake light

circuit, connect the BROWN w/RED wire to the output of the brake light switch. If the brake light switch in the

vehicle switches ground, do not use the BROWN w/RED wire; see GRAY w/BLACK wire.

Note: The BROWN w/RED wire is used for programming, if the brake switch in the vehicle switches ground, a

normally open push-button switch must be added. During the program sequence, when the brake pedal is

pressed

and released, this switch will be used in it's place. If the installation of this switch is necessary,

connect one end of the normally open push button switch to the BROWN w/RED wire, and connect the other end

of the switch to a fused +12 volt source.

YELLOW w/ BLACK: + 12 Volt Alarm By - Pass Output

This wire provides a 500mA +12 Volt transistorized output when the ignition key is turned to the ON position, and

0 Volts when the ignition key is OFF and when the vehicle is running under the control of the Remote Start. This

wire should be connected to the ignition input of the alarm system. The YELLOW w/BLACK wire output will allow

you to Remote Start the vehicle while leaving the alarm armed, and to lock/unlock the doors while running

under control of the remote start system.

(2) WHITE Wires: Parking Light Output

These wires are the COMMON and NORMALLY OPEN contacts of the on-board parking light relay. If the

vehicle's parking lights are a +12 volt switched system, connect (1) of the WHITE wires to a fused (15A max.)

+12 volt battery source, and connect the second WHITE wire to the vehicle's parking light wire. If the vehicle's

parking lights are a chassis ground switched system, connect (1) of the WHITE wires to a chassis ground

source, and connect the second WHITE wire to the vehicle's parking light wire.
