1.
Locate the vehicle’s ‘Motor Lock’ wire. This is the wire that goes directly to the door lock
motor. In most GM vehicles it is a gray wire in the driver’s kick panel that runs in to the door
boot.
2.
Connect the relay as follows: Pin 30 to the green wire in the remote start 3-pin harness (the one
with the red plug). Pin 85 to the motor lock wire in the vehicle, Pins 86 & 87 to ground. 87a is
not used.
3.
Change your remote start’s programming option #17 to ‘3 pulse’. Option programming
instructions are on page 15 of the remote start manual.
Once these steps are completed, you can start the vehicle by pressing ‘lock’ on your OEM remote three
times is rapid succession.
Step 5 – Close it up!
Gather up all your wiring and neatly bundle it together using zip ties or electrical tape. Find a secure
place to put the remote start module and use zip ties to secure it. If you’re going to trim or remove any
unused wires, now is the time.
Make sure that the remote start wires are not near any moving parts
on the steering wheel, pedals or emergency brake!
Installer’s Tips
Tip #1 – Where Everything Goes
1.
Remote start module
– the wiring for the module is done under the dash on the driver’s side, so
you’ll want to install the module in that general area. Before you start wiring, look for a
location where there’s some open space that will fit the module. Pay attention to moving parts
like the pedals, e-brake and steering column. Be sure to route your wiring away from those
areas.
2.
OFA Bypass module
– can be stowed along with the remote start.
3.
Programming button
– Requires a ¼” hole. Usually put in the driver’s kick panel (that’s the area
forward of the door), the driver’s side of the center console, or the underside of the dash.
4.
Hood Pin Switch
– An important safety component! Requires a 3/8” hole. Find a location in
the engine compartment to mount the switch where the closed hood will keep the plunger in
the switch depressed. This is what prevents the car from starting when the hood is open. If
your vehicle is equipped with a factory hood pin, the OFA module will read it, so installation of
the aftermarket hood pin is not required.
5.
Status LED
– Not required for normal operation but can be helpful for troubleshooting. Can be
mounted anywhere you like – or unplugged and not used once the installation is completed.
