INSTALLATION OF THE MAJOR COMPONENTS
Control Module:
Select a mounting location inside the passenger compartment (behind the dashboard). The mounting location
selected must be within 24" of the ignition switch wiring harness to allow connection of the 6-pin harness. Be
certain that the chosen location will not interfere with the proper operation of the vehicle. Avoid mounting the
module to or routing the wiring around the steering shaft/column, as the module or wiring may wrap around or
block the steering wheel preventing proper control of the vehicle. Secure the module in the chosen location
using cable ties or screws as necessary. Do not mount the module in the engine compartment, as it is not
waterproof.
HOOD PIN SWITCH:
The pin switch included in this package is required for the safety shut down of the Remote Start system. If the
vehicle is being serviced, this hood switch prevents the remote start activation even if the transmitter is
operated. This switch MUST be installed in all applications. Failure to do so may result in personal injury or
property damage. Mount the switch in an area under the hood that is away from water drain paths. If necessary,
the included brackets may be used to move the switch away from rain gutters or allow mounting to the firewall
behind the hood seal. In either case the switch must be set to allow the hood to depress the switch at least 1/
4" when the hood is closed and fully extended when the hood is opened. For direct mounting, a 1/4" hole must
be drilled. Carefully check behind the chosen location to insure the drill will not penetrate any existing factory
wiring or fluid lines. Drill a 1/4" hole in the desired location and thread the pin switch into it. If using the
mounting bracket, first secure the bracket to the desired location and secure the pin switch in the threaded
mounting bracket hole.
PROGRAM SWITCH / SAFETY (Red Handled ) CONTROL SWITCH:
Select a mounting location that is within reach of the ignition switch, as this switch, in combination with the
ignition switch and brake, will be used to program the certain features of the system. It is suggested that the
switch be mounted to the lower dash panel in the driver's area. Inspect behind the chosen location to insure
that adequate clearance is allowed for the body of the switch, and also that the drill will not penetrate any
existing factory wiring or fluid lines. Drill a 1/4" hole in the desired location and mount the switch by passing it
through the panel from the underside. Secure the switch using the nut, star washer, and ON/OFF face plate. It is
best to install the switch to allow the ON position to be up toward the driver and the OFF position to be down or
away from the driver. Route the switch wires toward the control module.
The CA-420A is to be used in vehicles with AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSIONS only! Although this is a
sophisticated system with many advanced features, IT MUST NOT be installed into a vehicle with a manually
operated transmission. Doing so may result in serious personal injury and property damage.
IMPORTANT!
DO NOT PLUG THE SIX PIN OR THE MULTI PIN HARNESS INTO THE CONTROL MODULE UNTIL ALL
CONNECTIONS TO THE VEHICLE HAVE BEEN MADE. AFTER SELECTING YOUR TARGET WIRES
DISCONNECT THE NEGATIVE BATTERY CABLE FROM THE VEHICLE BATTERY PRIOR TO MAKING ANY
CONNECTIONS.
