If the optional starter kill relay or its connections are immediately visible upon removal of the under-dash panel,
they can easily be bypassed. Always make the relay and its connections difficult to discern from the factory
wiring! Exposed yellow butt connectors do not look like factory parts, and will not fool anyone! For this reason,
routing the starter kill wires away from the steering column is recommended.

Now that you have determined where each component will be located, your next step is to find the wires in the
vehicle that the security system will be connected to.
I I M M P P O O R R T T A A N N T T ! ! Do not use a 12V test light to locate these wires! All testing described in this
manual assumes the use of a digital multimeter.

We recommend two possible sources for 12V constant: The (+) terminal of the battery, or the constant 12V supply to
the ignition switch. Always install a fuse within 12 inches of this connection. If the fuse will also be powering other
circuits, such as door locks, a power window module, or a Nite-Lite® headlight control system, fuse accordingly.
I I M M P P O O R R T T A A N N T T ! ! Do not remove the fuse holder on the red wire. It ensures that the control module
has its own fuse, of the proper value, regardless of how many accessories are added to the main
power feed.

The ignition wire is powered when the key is in the run or start position. This is because the ignition wire powers
the ignition system (spark plugs, coil) as well as the fuel delivery system (fuel pump, fuel injection computer).
Accessory wires lose power when the key is in the start position to make more current available to the starter motor.
