IMPORTANT!

It is the responsibility of the installing technician to determine the load factor of the vehicles electrical
circuits when the vehicle is running, and to adequately fuse the two power wires based on that load.  If the
vehicle, running under load with the air conditioner, heater blower motor, and accessories exceed 24 Amps
continuous, we recommend that two fuses be used in combination on each power wire as shown below.
For additional information see Tech Update issued 9/30/96.

YELLOW 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 installa-
tion 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  ensure
that the vehicle cannot 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 Yellow wire will
be made to the low current start solenoid wire of the ignition switch harness.  This wire will have +12 volts
when the ignition switch is turned to the start (crank) position only.  This wire will have 0 volts in all other
ignition switch positions.

NOTE:

  This wire must be connected to the vehicle side of the starter cut relay (when used).  For the

electrical neutral switch configuration, this connection must be made between the starter inhibit relay,
( when used ) and the neutral safety switch as shown in the following diagram.
Failure to connect this wire to the ignition switch side of the of the neutral safety switch can result in
personal injury and property damage.
SEE NEUTRAL START SAFETY TEST FOR FURTHER DETAILS.

YELLOW START WIRE DETAIL

BLUE Wire: 

 Ignition 1 Output

Connect this wire to the ignition 1 wire from the ignition switch.  This wire will show +12 volts when the
ignition key is turned to the "ON" or "RUN" and the "START" or CRANK" positions, and will have 0 volts
when the key is turned to the "OFF" and "ACCESSORY" positions.
For Diesel Applications, this wire must be connected to the ignition circuit that powers the glow plugs if the
vehicle requires glow plug pre-heating. (See selectable feature Bank 3 #11)
