Remote Start Kit for GM Trucks & SUV’s - Installation “Tip Sheet” 

rev 1.3 1/12/2013 

Thank you for purchasing your remote start from MyPushcart.com - an industry leader in providing 

remote starts to do-it-yourself installers since 1999.  We’ve put this tip sheet together to help you with 

your installation.   The purpose of this sheet is to help you organize your installation - not to replace 

your installation manuals.  You will still need to refer to those. 

Two very important things before you get started: 

 

Read the entire installation manual.  There are several safety tips in there that you need to know 
before you start 

 

Avoid using a test light to probe wires. Test lights can set off air bags and damage ECU’s if you 
probe the wrong wire.   Your vehicle wiring chart will identify the correct wires that you’ll be 
tapping on to in your car.   If you must probe, use a digital multi-meter.  They’re inexpensive and 
won’t set off air bags or burn circuit boards.    

 

Test, and re-test all the wires you are connecting to in your vehicle before you connect them. 
Sometimes wire color may change or be slightly different than what is shown on the chart.  
Don’t assume the chart is correct.
