    12V We recommend two possible sources for 12V constant: The (+) terminal of the battery, or the constant supply to the ignition switch. Always install a fuse within 12 inches of this connection. © 2003 directed electronics, inc.

  • Page 9: Finding The 12V Switched Ignition Wire

    If it drops close to or all the way to zero, go back to step 3. If it stays steady at (+)12V, you have found an ignition wire. © 2003 directed electronics, inc.
  • Page 10 Attach the (+) probe of the meter to +12V. Probe the wire you suspect of being the parking light wire. Usually, the area near the headlight/parking light switch is an excellent area to start, as is the kick panel. © 2003 directed electronics, inc.

    N N O O T T E E : : If connecting the orange wire to control another module, such as a 529T or 530T window controller, a 1 amp diode (type 1N4004) will be required. Insert the diode as shown below. © 2003 directed electronics, inc.
  • Page 13 It will supply a (+) 10A output. If the light flash polarity fuse jumper inside the unit is moved to the opposite position (see Internal Jumpers), this wire sup- plies a (-) 10A output. This is suitable for driving (-)parking light wires. © 2003 directed electronics, inc.
  • Page 14 Connect the green wire to a wire which shows ground when any door is opened. In vehicles with factory delays on the domelight circuit, there is usually a wire that is unaffected by the delay circuitry. © 2003 directed electronics, inc.
  • Page 15 H1/8 BLACK (-) chassis ground connection: Connect this wire to bare metal, prefer- ably with a factory bolt rather than your own screw. Screws tend to either strip or loosen with time. All components, should be grounded to the same point in the vehi- cle if possible. © 2003 directed electronics, inc.

    If the factory transmitter unlocks the driver’s door first, the BLUE wire must be connected to the wire that changes state when the driver’s door is unlocked by itself. © 2003 directed electronics, inc.
  • Page 19 Connect this wire to the light flash wire that flashes when the factory transmitter is used. This may be a status LED, parking lights, reverse lights, etc., depending on the vehicle type and manufacturer. This wire can accept a (+) positive or (-) negative input. © 2003 directed electronics, inc.

  • Page 20: Keyless Entry Systems-Three Types

    There are three main types of keyless entry systems. Systems that unlock the driver’s door first and have internal relays, systems that unlock the driver’s door first but have external relays, and systems without driver’s priority door unlock. factory remote—driver’s door unlock © 2003 directed electronics, inc.

  • Page 22 N N O O T T E E : : Failure to insert the diodes at the correct point will allow the system to be dis- armed by one of the power door lock switches inside the vehicle. The best place to insert the diode is at the keyless entry module itself or at the relays. © 2003 directed electronics, inc.
