15. Blue - Horn/Siren - Control Harness
The BLUE wire signals the horn to honk
(or siren to chirp) once each time the
remote starter starts the vehicle and
each time the locks are locked or un-
locked. Connect the blue wire to the
factory horn wire which is often found
running down the steering column. It
will normally show +12 Volts at rest and
the voltage will disappear when the horn is honked. This is a 400 mA transistor
ground output which MUST drive a relay if using a siren or positively trig-
gered horn.
16. Brown/White - Alarm Disable - Control Harness
The BROWN/WHITE wire is Alarm Disable, which will give out a quick
negative pulse just before unlocking the doors or starting the vehicle.
This wire can be used to turn off the factory alarm system in vehicles
which have them. In most vehicles, this wire is located in the driver's
kick panel.
17. White/Black Wire - Ignition #3 - Control Harness
The WHITE/BLACK wire, is a ground output that acts just like the Ignition 1
or Ignition 2 relay outputs (active in
the "run" and "crank" positions).
This wire is a 400 mA negative
transistor output and MUST be
set up to power a relay (not in-
cluded). It can be used to power
the third ignition wire at the key
(necessary for most Ford vehicles).
This is the wire that can also be used to bypass a passive anti-theft system
by hooking it up to the Universal Alarm Bypass Module. See the Factory
Anti-Theft System Section at the end of the instructions.
18. Keyless Entry Wires-White/Red-Yellow/Red-Control Harness
The wires function as follows:
White/Red
Negative Trigger – Unlock
Yellow/Red Negative Trigger – Lock
Determine the polarity of your door lock system by using a test meter. For
NEGATIVE locks (the lock wire sees a ground signal briefly as the electric
locks are locked) – connect the Red/Black wire to the Unlock wire and the
Red/White wire to the Lock wire.
For POSITIVE locks (the lock wire sees a +12 volt signal briefly as the
electric locks are locked but does not see ground when they are inactive)
connect the White/Red wire to the Lock wire and the Yellow/Red wire to the
Unlock wire.
For REVERSING POLARITY (the lock wires sees a +12 volt signal briefly as
the electric locks are locked and sees a ground signal when they are
inactive) follow the diagram below:

19. Green/White - Trunk Release - Control Harness
The GREEN/WHITE wire is the Trunk Release output which gives out a
transistor ground output when the unlock button is held for 4 seconds.
Again, this is a 400 mA transistor ground output which MUST drive a
relay (not included).

REQUIRED FINAL STEPS
You must have hooked up all required wires and completed Initializa-
tion (Step 11) to proceed forward.
20. Trying the Unit Out
WARNING: Be prepared to apply the brake during this testing.
A. Close the hood and fully apply the emergency brake
B. Place the vehicle in Park.
C. Push the On/Off switch once – the red LED will turn on solid Red.
D. Once all the wiring is checked and is correct, press the Start button on
the transmitter.
E. The car should start and continue to run for ten minutes. Make sure that
the engine shuts down if the car is shifted out of park, the hood is
opened, the brake is pressed or the start button is pushed again. If the
car does not start, see Special Cases or Code Learning section under
Special Cases.
21. The Antenna
Feed the antenna around under the dash and up the inside of the right or left
windshield post and over the top of the windshield. Clean the windshield
with the rubbing alcohol pad, wait to dry. Slip the rubber antenna into the
hard plastic antenna clip. Remove the backing from the double sided tape
and mount the antenna behind the rear view mirror. The more exposed the
antenna is, the better the range and performance. Now plug the end of the
antenna into the remote starter module. In some vehicles you will get
better range performance if the antenna is pointing vertically down-
ward from the top of the windshield.
T
HE WIRING SECTION OF THE INSTALLATION IS NOW COMPLETE
sure to cap all unused wires so as to prevent short circuits, and
mount the module securely under the dash. When tying up and
mounting the unit, be sure to avoid any moving parts (steering
column, pedals) and sharp edges.
22. Trouble Shooting with the Self Diagnostics
The remote starter contains a built in diagnostic routine that will indicate
why the unit started or why the unit turned off the car the last time that the
unit was used.
To activate the diagnostic mode for why it turned off, simply turn the On/Off
control switch to the "OFF" position, the LED will turn Green. In a few
seconds, the Green LED on the switch will flash 1 to 12 times to identify the
problem. See the chart below for an explanation of the flashes:
1 flash
10/15 minute time out. Unit should be fine. Make sure the
transmitter is working properly.
2 flashes
Unit turned off because Brake or Hood was activated. Check
to make sure the hood pin switch is depressed when the hood
is closed and the correct brake wire is hooked up.
3 flashes
No Tach or Stalled. Review Step 12 and make sure the no
tach/tach wire option is programmed correctly.
