    warning! Verify that the vehicle is set to park and that the parking brake is set before beginning installation. step 1 Ground Wire The BLACK wire on the main 8-pin harness is ground. This wire should be connected to a clean, paint-free area of metal in the drivers kick panel area.

  • Page 15: Step 2

    step 2 Constant Power and Ignition wires Almost all power and ignition wires can be found behind the key cylinder under the lower drivers side dash panel. Using the appropriate hand tools, remove the lower dash panel using care not to break any parts. If the panel does not come off easily check for any additional screws you may have missed.
  • Page 16 warning! Before making any connection to constant battery power make sure that the two green 30 amp fuses are removed from the fuse holders on the two thick red wires. Failure to do so may cause fire or shorting of sensitive electrical components. Once the constant power wire has been identified, solder the two thick RED wires from the control module to it and cover the connection with electrical tape to ensure a safe connection.

  • Page 17: Step 3

    If the wire tests correctly, solder the thick ORANGE wire off the relay satellite pack and secure it with electrical tape. If your vehicle requires more than one accessory contact Rattler Technical Support. © 2003 directed electronics, inc.

  • Page 18: Step 4

    Now that the accessories have been located, find the wire suspected to be the starter wire according to the web information on your vehicle. Place the red lead of your meter on the wire. With the key in the off position the meter should read 0.00 volts and will stay at 0.00 volts in all key positions except the crank position.
  • Page 19 and neutral safety wires. First locate the factory brake wire using your multi-meter. Find the switch at the top of the metal arm coming off the brake pedal. There are usually two wires connected to that switch. Locate the wire color according to the web information. With your black meter lead still in the kick panel, probe the suspected wire with the red lead of your meter.
  • Page 20 Installing the hood pin switch requires drilling a ¼-inch hole in the metal lip under the hood. Choose a location that will allow the pin switch to be depressed when the hood is closed. The pin switch has a connector on the bottom for the wire connection.
  • Page 21 warning! The vehicle may lunge forward when started if there is no factory safe- guards. Have the emergency brake engaged, and be prepared to quickly press on the brake and turn the engine off. The after-market safety switch will have two wires coming off it. Take one of the wires (it does not matter which one) and strip back a ¾-inch section of the insulation off the wire.

    There are several different types of parking light circuits. The following description is for a standard negative-triggered parking light circuit, usually located at the light switch. If the web vehicle information suggests a different type of parking light circuit, please contact Rattler Technical Support. © 2003 directed electronics, inc.

  • Page 23: Step 6

    Using the web information on the vehicle, locate the suspected wire and place the red lead of the meter to a constant (+)12 volt source and secure it. Place the multi-meter in the DC position. Using the black lead of the meter, probe the wire. With the switch in the off position the meter will read 0.00 volts.
  • Page 24 If your vehicle has a negative triggered door lock system, follow the steps below. If your vehicle has any other type of door lock system, please contact Rattler Technical Support to obtain the correct door lock wiring diagram.
  • Page 25 Once the correct wire has been found, solder the small LIGHT GREEN wire off the main connector to it and cover the connec- tion with electrical tape. Repeat this process for the unlock wire but press the switch to the unlock position when testing. Once you have identified the correct wire, solder the LIGHT BLUE wire off the main connector to it and cover the connection with electrical tape.

    The Rattler Do-It-Yourself system comes with a dual-relay pack included for door lock operation. To interface this piece with the system it is necessary to cut the three-pin plug off the relay module leaving the three wires long enough to connect to the system module.
  • Page 27 If the idle is too slow or too high, the system will shut down the engine to prevent damage. If the starter does not crank long enough to actually start the engine, it is possible to change the programming to extend the crank time. Refer to the Programming Options section of this guide.

    warning! Do not use a test light. Use of a test light can cause grounding of sensitive electrical components causing damage, including damage to the power train con- trol module. step 8 Factory Alarm Arm or Disarm Since most newer vehicles come equipped with a factory alarm system, it is necessary for the factory alarm to be armed/disarmed when unlocking the doors and disarmed while remote starting the vehicle.

  • Page 30: Step 9

    When the correct wire has been found, solder the small GREEN/BLACK wire to the wire which activates in the unlock position when the key is turned. Connect the GREEN/WHITE wire to the wire which activates in the lock position when the key is turned.

    To determine what bypass module your vehicle requires, check your web vehicle information sheet. step 10 Mounting the receiver/antenna The best location for the receiver/antenna is centered high on either the front or rear windshield. For optimal range, the antenna should be mounted vertically. It can be mounted hori- zontally in relation to the windshield or under the dashboard away from metal, but range will be diminished.

  • Page 32: Step 11

    step 11 Testing the system Once steps 1-9 have been completed, the operation of the system can be tested. Place the two 30-amp fuses back into the relay satellite red wire fuse holders. Make sure that the vehicle is in park with the emer- gency brake on and the hood closed.
