FACTORY ALARM SHUT DOWN WIRE (FASD) (-) (RED WITH BLACK
STRIPE)
If your vehicle is equipped with a factory alarm system
(as most vehicles with a factory keyless entry are) or,
if your vehicle DOES NOT have a factory remote control
that honks the horn when locking and unlocking the doors,
or when you use the key in the driver’s door, you DO NOT
get a light on the dash that says “security” then mostly
you will not need to use this wire. If your vehicle is
so equipped, probe for a small gauge wire (usually found
in the driver’s side kick panel) that shows (-) ground
when the door lock cylinder is turned to the unlock position
using the key. This wire will usually show a (+) positive
voltage before turning the key. NOTE: Some factory disarm
wires remain neutral before you turn the key to unlock
instead of +12v positive. Connect the RED WITH BLACK STRIPE
wire from the 9-pin harness to this wire.
HOOD PIN SWITCH (BLACK WITH BLUE STRIPE)
This feature will keep the engine from starting, or shut
off the engine when the hood is opened (this is ONLY when
in remote start mode, this hoodpin switch has no control
over an engine when started with the ignition key or under
normal operation). Locate a good chassis ground, if at
all possible do not install the pin switch in the rain
gutter. Drill a 5/16 hole, insert the pin switch into the
hole and tighten. Check for the hood adjustment, there
is approximately 1/4” adjustment in the pin switch. Close
the hood easy, making sure that the pin switch is not
keeping the hood from closing all the way, if it does,
cut off approximately 1/8” of the black plastic off of
the top of the hoodpin switch and try closing the hood
again. Check to make sure that the hoodpin switch remains
neutral when the hood is closed and shows ground when the
hood is open. Plug the BLACK WITH BLUE STRIPE wire from
the 9-pin harness into the bottom of the hood pin switch.
TACH INPUT (BLACK WITH WHITE STRIPE) (Optional)
By this time, you should have determined the way you want
your vehicle to start (tach or tachless). Tachless uses
voltage electronic signals and timing to work. Tach types
use a signal directly from the ignition coil. If you have
chosen the TACHLESS start option, simply proceed to the
next step and skip the following instructions. Make sure
you tape this wire up if not used. For TACH mode connect
the BLACK WITH WHITE STRIPE wire from the 9-pin harness
to the negative side of the coil or the tach wire at the
coil pack under the hood. To find the coil pack follow
the spark plug wires back to their beginning point. To
operate in tach mode, make sure to program tach option.
See programming tach option page 14.
AUXILIARY INPUT (BLUE) (For Aftermarket Alarms)
If you use this starter with an aftermarket alarm, connect
the BLUE wire from the 9-pin harness to the second or
third channel output of your existing alarm. When the
output is activated, a signal will activate the remote
starter.
