This wire will power the heater blower motor. 

Usually connected to the accessories wire of the 

vehicle. The source wire must have power with the 
ignition key in the 

IGNITION ON  (RUN)

 position only (

no 

power in the 

CRANK

 

position).

Warning: 

at the ignition switch of certain vehicles, 

there may be more than one ignition wire for powering 

the heater blower motor. Use the 5

th

 relay (Pin F) and 

extra relays to power up any extra ignition wires if 
necessary. 

Do not jump wires at the ignition 

switch

: this would compromise the OEM electrical 

system. 
This high-current output can be used to power a 

second ignition, accessories or crank wire. See 

jumper setting

 on page 23, for correct output. 

GREEN 

(+) Fifth 

Relay output 

(30 A) 

Please note

: additional ignition, accessories, or 

starter wires must use external relays. 

Do not jump 

wires 

at the ignition switch: this would compromise 

the OEM electrical system.

Function 

Description 

BLACK 

(–) 

Chassis 

ground input 

This wire must be connected to bare, unpainted metal 

(the chassis or the true body ground). It is preferable 
to use a factory ground bolt rather than a self-tapping 

screw. 

Screws tend to get loose or rusted over 

time and can cause erratic problems.

 

This wire will allow the module to sense whether the 
engine is running. The wire requires at least 1.8 V 

(AC) and 1.6 Hz or faster when the engine runs at idle 

speed. Common references for the tach wire are: the 

negative side of the ignition coil, the camshaft sensor, 
the crankshaft sensor or the engine control module 

(ECM). 

PURPLE 

(A.C.) 

Tachometer 

input 

Note:

 if the tach signal is too low, the module will 

“over-crank”. Conversely, if the tach signal is too high, 

the module will “under-crank”. 

GREY 

(–) Hood 

switch input 

Connect this wire to the installed hood pin switch 
supplied. This input will disable or shut down the 

remote starter when the hood is up. 

ORANGE 

(+) Brake 

Switch input 

This wire must be connected to the brake light wire of 
the vehicle. This wire must have +12 V only when the 

brake pedal is down. This input will shut down the 

remote starter if the brake pedal is pressed.
