MAKING WIRING CONNECTIONS

PRECAUTIONS

NOTE: In most cases you should not cut your vehicle wire in two.

1. Strip back two inches of insulation on the wire from the remote starter.

2. Strip back one inch of insulation on the wire you need to connect to.

3. Separate the vehicle wire as shown. Make the separation large enough to fit the other

wire through.

4. Insert the wire(s) from the starter through the hole as shown. If two or more wires

are inserted, wrap them in opposite directions.

5. Wrap the wire around one side then the other and finally around itself as shown.

SAFETY FIRST!

A periodic safety check is recommended to ensure that your system is in proper working order.

DO NOT use mechanical wiring connections, such as crimp or snap together wire connectors. Instead, follow

the instructions on pages 3-4

DO NOT disconnect the battery if the vehicle has an anti-theft-coded radio or is equipped with an airbag.

Doing so may cause a warning light to be displayed which may require a trip to the dealer to be corrected.

DO NOT leave the interior or exterior lights on for an extended period of time as it may cause battery

drain. Remove the dome light fuse from the vehicle’s fuse box. NOTE: Alarm systems do not work well with

a partially discharged battery.

NOTE: A volt meter must be used when testing.

DO NOT USE A TEST LIGHT unless it is computer-friendly. Other devices may cause electrical damage to

sensitive and expensive circuits,

NOTE: To probe an insulated wire, put a piercing probe adapter on your meter or test light leads.

1. Except for the LED Status Indicator, NEVER mount components in view or where they can be easily

disconnected.

2. Disconnect the dome light fuse until you are ready for final testing.

3. Mount the siren as far away from sources of heat (exhaust manifold, turbo charger, etc.) as possible.

Tape, wrap or tube all wires. Run all wires to the siren as high up in the engine compartment as possible

to prevent cutting from below.

4. Always suggest adding an optional shock sensor to protect the trunk.

5. Mount the control module only after all connections have been made and tested.

6. Using wire ties or double sided tape, mount the module as high under the dash as you can. Make sure

the module is securely mounted.
