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
can be installed without the use of an
aftermarket security bypass module, and all of your original security functions will be unaffected.
Determine which installation option to use below:
Installation Option 1:
can be installed as a full function combined “Engine Start and Alarm System”. If
your vehicle comes equipped with an OEM or aftermarket alarm system, installing
as a combined
“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
can be installed by connecting
to the OEM door lock/unlock circuitry. When installing
in the “Engine Start and Alarm System”
configuration, the supplied key FOBs and siren will be required. See Sec. 1.5 for wiring instructions.
Installation Option 2:
can also be installed in a stand alone, “Engine Start,” configuration only (without
door locks and alarm functions). In the event that your vehicle has an OEM or a high level security aftermarket
alarm system, then
can be installed using the “Engine Start” functions only. Your OEM key FOB will
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
number of the
module wires will not be required. Please see installation comments in Sec 1.5
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
and/or vehicle locking system. There are several types of door lock systems
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
’s alarm functions. “Engine Start”
only function can be easily installed.
