NOTE: When testing the door pin wire, make sure the dome
light is on. Some vehicles, if the door is left open
for a period of time, the dome light will go out,
resulting in a false reading.
DOME LIGHT
To determine if your dome light is turned on with (+)
positive or (-) negative trigger, probe for a wire in the
driver’s side kick panel that switches polarity when the
door is closed, then opened. You can also find this wire
going to the under dash courtesy lights.
•If this wire tests (+) positive, the RED light glows bright
when the door is open (as with most Fords) and when the
door is closed, this wire tests as a (-) negative, the
GREEN light glows bright, this is (+) positive dome light.
•If this wire tests (-) negative, the GREEN light glows
bright, when the door is open and when the door is closed,
this wire tests as a (+) positive, the RED light glows
bright, this is a (-) negative dome light.
If your dome light is a (-) negative (as most others are),
connect the VIOLET wire to the dome light wire from the
16-pin harness.
If you dome light is (+) positive (most Fords) you must
add Part #775 to use this option. See diagram.
Optional part #775 required.
DO NOT USE,
TAPE OFF.

TRUNK RELEASE AND SLIDING VAN DOOR RELEASE (+)
Locate the trunk release or sliding van door release wire
coming from the back of the release switch. To determine
if your release is tripped by a (+) positive or a (-)
negative (most trunk release or van door release switches
are (+) positive). Press the “trunk” or “sliding door”
button, if the RED light glows bright, you have a (+)
positive release. If the GREEN light glows bright you have
a (-) negative release.
If your release is a (-) negative an
optional part #775 is required. Connect the WHITE WITH
RED STRIPE wire to the WHITE wire of the optional relay.
Attach the BLACK wire and the BLUE wire to chassis ground
and attach the YELLOW wire to the release output wire on
the vehicle. Please use figures above for correct connections.
If your release wire is a (+) positive, connect the WHITE
with RED stripe wire from the 16-pin harness to the release
wire in the vehicle’s harness.
AUXILIARY INPUT (-)
If you wish to use this starter with an aftermarket alarm,
connect the BLUE wire from the 16-pin harness to the
second or third channel (-) output of your existing alarm.
When the output is activated, a (-) signal will be supplied
to the remote starter which will start the vehicle.
