Things to remember when positioning the Status LED:
■
It should be visible from both sides and the rear of the vehicle, if possible.
■
It needs at least
1
/
2
" clearance to the rear.
■
It is easiest to use a small removable panel, such as a switch blank or a dash bezel. Remove it before drilling
your
9
/
32
" hole.
■
Use quick-disconnects near the LED wires if the panel is removable. This lets mechanics or other installers
remove the panel without cutting the wires.
If the optional starter kill relay or its connections are immediately visible upon removal of the under-dash panel,
they can easily be bypassed. Always make the relay and its connections difficult to discern from the factory
wiring! Exposed yellow butt connectors do not look like factory parts, and will not fool anyone! For this reason,
routing the starter kill wires away from the steering column is recommended.
finding the wires you need
Now that you have decided where each component will be located, you will need to find the wires in the vehicle
that the security system will be connected to.
IMPORTANT!
Do not use a 12V test light to locate these wires! Use a digital multimeter for all
testing.
