The

has been designed to function in any vehicle (carbureted, fuel injected, diesel, automatic or

manual transmission, and locking or non-locking steering column.) If your vehicle has a factory installed

security system with or without an immobilizer, then

aftermarket security bypass module, and all of your original security functions will be unaffected.

Determine which installation option to use below:

Installation Option 1:

your vehicle comes equipped with an OEM or aftermarket alarm system, installing

"Engine Start and Alarm System" will require the OEM or aftermarket system to be bypassed by connecting the

wiring harnesses in parallel to the OEM or aftermarket door and alarm function wiring. If your vehicle

is equipped with an OEM electric door lock and unlock only system, then

to the OEM door lock/unlock circuitry. When installing

configuration, the supplied key FOBs and siren will be required. See Sec. 1.5 for wiring instructions.

Installation Option 2:

door locks and alarm functions). In the event that your vehicle has an OEM or a high level security aftermarket

alarm system, then

continue to function as it was originally intended. When installing in the "Engine Start" only configuration, the

supplied

key FOBs and siren will not be used. When installing as the "Engine Start" only configuration a

To ease and reduce installation time, we suggest you consider the following points before starting:

1. Check all vehicle manufacturer cautions and warnings regarding electrical service (AIR BAGS, ABS BRAKES,

ENGINE / BODY COMPUTER AND BATTERY). Use extreme care and do not probe any wires of the SRS

system.

2. Additional vehicle specific wiring diagrams and other helpful installation information can be found on our web

site at

www.GalloTech.com

3. Determine the most suitable locations for all components to be placed. These components include: The control

module , ENGINE START button, siren, supplied relays or possible extra relays.

4. Use a Digital Multi-Meter or 12-volt Test Probe (High-Impedance) to test and locate all connections.

Conventional Test Lights can damage a vehicle's computer systems.

5. Record all color codes of vehicle wiring to be used for reference. This will save time by not having to re-test the

same wires over again. Mark all vehicle wires with masking tape.

6. After locating and marking the appropriate wires DISCONNECT the (+) POS terminal at the battery.

7. Determine the type of locking system the vehicle has before connecting any wires. Incorrect connection can

result in damage to the

in vehicles today. Below is listed the many types of common locking systems:



Negative Trigger (-): Many Imports; Late model Ford & General Motors

Negative trigger door lock systems send a Negative (Ground) pulse to existing factory relays to lock and

unlock the vehicle doors.



Positive Trigger (+): Many General Motors; Chrysler / Dodge / Plymouth

Positive trigger door lock systems send a Positive (+12V) pulse to existing factory relays to lock and unlock

the vehicle doors.



Reverse Polarity: Many Ford/Lincoln/Mercury/Dodge/Chrysler/Plymouth and early 90's GM Trucks

The door lock/unlock motors are controlled directly from the lock and unlock switches in the door. The lock

and unlock wires rest at Negative Ground when not in use. When the lock or unlock button is pressed, one of

the circuits is "Lifted" and replaced with +12V causing a lock or unlock to occur.



Electric vacuum pump: Pre-'95 Mercedes-Benz and Audi



Single Wire (Dual Voltage): Late model Chrysler/Dodge/Plymouth Vehicles, some year 2000 and

newer GM vehicles

Dual Voltage systems have lock/unlock switches that send varying levels of Positive voltage OR Negative

ground current to the SAME wire for both lock and unlock. When the vehicle's Body Computer Module (BCM)

or door lock module senses different voltages on this wire, the system will either lock or unlock. Single wire

door lock systems require relays and resistors. This type system requires that you have a good working

knowledge of their operation before attempting installation of
