Things to remember when positioning the status LED:
■
It should be visible from both sides and the rear of the vehicle, if possible.
■
It needs at least
1
/
2
-inch clearance to the rear.
■
It is easiest to use a small removable panel, such as a switch blank or a dash bezel. Remove it before drilling
your
9
/
32
-inch hole.
■
Use quick-disconnects near the LED wires if the panel is removable. This lets mechanics or other installers
remove the panel without having to cut the wires.
If the optional starter kill relay or its connections are immediately visible upon removal of the under-dash panel,
they can easily be bypassed. Always make the relay and its connections difficult to discern from the factory
wiring! Exposed yellow butt connectors do not look like factory parts, and will not fool anyone! For this reason,
routing the starter kill wires away from the steering column is recommended.

Now that you have determined where each component will be located, your next step is to find the wires in the
vehicle that the security system will be connected to.

NTT!! Do not use a 12V test light to locate these wires! All testing described in this
manual assumes the use of a digital multimeter.
