The method that the remote starter uses to start the vehicle is a duplicate of the ignition switch
function. Below, is an explanation of the 3 basic functions of the ignition switch. Since this instal-
lation will require analysis of the ignition switch functions, it is recommended making the three
connections below at the ignition switch harness directly.
Violet Wire:
(Starter Output)
Careful consideration for the connection of this wire must be made to prevent the vehicle from starting while
in gear. Understanding the difference between a mechanical and an electrical Neutral Start Switch will allow you
to properly identify the circuit and select the correct installation method. In addition you will realize why the
connection of the safety wire is required for all mechanical switch configurations.
Failure to make this connection properly can result in personal injury and property damage.
In all installations, it is the responsibility of the installing technician to test the remote start unit and assure that
the vehicle can not start via RF control in any gear selection other than park or neutral.
In both mechanical and electrical neutral start switch configurations, the connection of the “Violet” wire will be
made to the low current start solenoid wire of the ignition switch harness. This wire must have +12 Volts when
the ignition switch is turned to the “start” (crank) position only. This wire must have 0 Volts in all other igni-
tion switch positions.
Note: If a starter disable relay is installed, the connection of the violet wire must be at the starter side of the
relay, not the ignition switch side.
Failure to connect this wire to the ignition switch side of the neutral safety switch can result in personal injury
and property damage (see Neutral Start Safety test for further details).
Red Wires (2):
(+12 V Power Input)
Remove the two 20A fuses prior to connecting these wires and do not replace them until the harness has been
plugged into the control module. These wires are the source of voltage for all the circuits the relay harness will
energize. They must be connected to a high current source. Since the factory supplies (+) 12V to the key switch
that is used to operate the motor, it is recommended that these wires be connected there. Note: If the factory
supplies two separate (+) 12V feeds to the ignition switch, connect on “Red” wire of the harness to each feed
at the switch.
Yellow Wire:
(Ignition 1 Output)
Connect the “Yellow” wire to the Ignition 1 wire from the ignition switch. The ignition wire should p12
Volts when the ignition key is in the “ON” or “RUN” and “START” or “CRANK” position. When the ignition is
turned “OFF”, the ignition wire should have 0 Volts. The yellow wire must be connected.
