9. Violet Wire

The hood pin switch MUST be installed with the AutoCommand®. It pre-

vents operation of the AutoCommand® when the hood is open. Connect the

VIOLET wire to the hood pin switch using

the red connector.

Note:

If you already have a hood pin

switch which is being used by a

car alarm system, you may share

the wiring -- but be sure to diode

isolate each wire going to the

hood pin switch with the bands

of diodes pointing towards the

pin switch as follows:

10. Orange Wire

The ORANGE 18 gauge wire will disable the AutoCommand

pedal is pressed down. This is an added anti-theft safety feature. This connec-

tion is usually made under or behind the brake pedal linkage at the switch.

Connect the ORANGE to the wire that receives +12 volt only when the brake

pedal is pressed down. Any +12 volt input on this wire will shut off the Auto-

Command

. In some cars, the ignition must be on to see the power at the brake

wire. This wire must be hooked up. This is a critical safety feature. This hook-

up is also required for other options discussed later.
