Finding the Starter wire.
The starter wire can be found in the ignition harness which will be coming off
of the Key cylinder. This wire when tested will read 12V+ only when the key is
in the crank/start position and will return to a ground (-) when the key is not in
the crank/start position.
o
Finding the Ignition wire/wires
The Ignition wire/wires can also be found at the ignition harness. Some
vehicles may have more than one ignition wire and it is important that they all
receive power in order for the remote start to work. When testing an ignition
wire it will read ground (-) when in the key is in the accessory position and will
be 12V+ when the key is in the run position and also in the crank position.
o
Finding the Accessory wire/wires
The Accessory wire/wires are not needed in order for the remote start to work,
however in order to turn on the Radio, Heater controls, and AC controls you
will also have to power up the accessory wire/wires. When testing accessory
wires they will read 12V+ when the key is in the accessory and run position,
and will shut down and read ground(-) when in the crank position.
