the starter should not engage. Connect the optional starter disable socket's Red wire
to the ignition switch side, and its White wire to the starter solenoid side. Be sure
that good, solid electrical connections are made, as this generally is a high
amperage circuit.

Before firmly mounting the antenna, test the operation of the KeyCounter
for good range performance. Once the antenna is mounted, carefully route the
antenna's wiring harness to the Control Module, and plug its White connector into the
KeyCounter control module's White port. When routing the wiring harness down
the steering column, ensure that all moving parts, such as the steering shaft
or gear select linkage, will not be affected or impaired.
It is not necessary to adjust the antenna, and there is no provision for any type
antenna adjustment. If the antenna is correctly mounted in the proper location, range
between the transponder disc and antenna will be most adequate.
The Status Light and Valet/Override Switch
The Status Light and Valet/Override Switch are enclosed in a "no drilling"
Combination Holder which may be adhered to the desired mounting location (prepare
the mounting area with an interior panel-safe cleaning solvent). The location selected
should be easily visible to the vehicle's operator, and also to persons outside the
vehicle as a theft deterrent measure. Desirable locations include any overhang of the
instrument panel, which also provide hidden routing of the Status Light and Valet/
Override Switch wires to the Control Module. Plug the Status Light's Green connector
into the KeyCounter control module's Green port and plug the Valet/Override Switch's
Blue connector into the module's Blue port.
If the Status Light and Valet/Override Switch combination holder is not utilized, be
sure that the vehicle owner is shown the location of the Valet/Override Switch.

The Transmit/Receive Antenna
The KeyCounter's antenna installation is critical to the system's performance and
operation. The ideal location is mounted behind the steering column trim panel,
closely below the ignition switch (see the diagram on page 2). In this location, it is
more likely that everyday operation will require no conscious action on the part of the
user. However, there are some vehicles which may not allow the placement of the
antenna in the optimum location by the ignition switch. In these situations, the
system's antenna will be mounted behind a different dash or interior panel, and the key
fob disc will have to be presented to this area before the vehicle can be started.
It is also important to firmly mount the antenna. If movement of the antenna is
allowed, operational performance will vary. Several mounting methods are allowable.
A screw or nut and bolt may be used in the central mounting tab; silicone adhesive
may be used to glue the antenna assembly behind a trim panel. Using tape, wire ties,
or wedging the antenna is not recommended, as any change in the antenna's position
will affect the system's performance.
If desired, the antenna coil may be removed from the round plastic housing; the
housing can be pried apart and discarded, so that the smaller antenna coil by itself
can be installed. This is option is most desirable where space is at a premium within
the steering column housing, but it is important to firmly mount it so that the round
shape is retained.
