Before you install the system, thor-
oughly read the “Installation” section
of this manual. Then decide where to
mount the control module and its
components and where to route all
wiring. Be sure each component’s
wires reach from the main control
module’s mounting location. These
preparations could save you the trou-
ble of remounting and rerouting your
alarm system’s wiring and compo-
nents.
To complete the installation, you
need to identify and connect to the
following parts of your vehicle’s wiring
system.
• Chassis Ground
• Constant +12 Volts
• Accessory Power +12 Volts (only
on when vehicle ignition is set to
ON or ACC)
• Starter Solenoid Ignition Wire
from the Key Switch
• Power Door Lock Actuation Wires
(if you have power door locks)
• Door Switch Wire
• Parking Lights Wire
Fold out this manual’s back cover so
you can see the wiring diagram as
you make each connection and fold
out the front cover and follow the
checklist as you install the system.
Warning: Installation of this system
requires that you modify parts of your
vehicle’s electrical system. To safely
do this, you must also have informa-
tion about your vehicle’s electrical
system. Before you start the installa-
tion, be sure you have an accurate
electrical diagram for your vehicle
and know how to read it. Most vehicle
service manuals include this informa-
tion.
If necessary, call 1-800-598-2527 for
information about your vehicle’s wir-
ing.
USING WIRE PIERCING
PROBE ADAPTERS
Many procedures in this manual re-
quire that you determine the voltage
level being carried by an insulated
wire. RadioShack Wire Piercing
Probe Adapters (Cat. No. 278-715)
let you easily do this using a test light
or volt meter.
Simply slide the adapter onto your
test light’s or meter’s probes. Then
press the probe’s pointed metal tip
through the insulation of the wire you
want to test.
