WIRING A RELAY FOR SECOND OR THIRD ACCESSORY
NEVER connect two Accessory wires of the vehicle together to avoid using a relay. If the vehicle
manufacturer wanted the Accessory 1and 2 wires to be summed, they would have done it at the factory!
This is not only unwise because of the current draw issues, but this is a perfect opportunity for the dealer
to call the warranty void if ANYTHING relating to the electrical system goes wrong.

TESTING THE STARTER WIRE
•
The starter wire is often found in the harness coming from the key cylinder.
To find the starter wire with your multi-meter:
1. Set your meter to DC voltage
2. Attach the (-) probe to chassis ground.
3. Probe the wire you suspect of being the starter wire with the (+) probe.
4. Turn the key to the start position. If the meter reads 12V go to the next step
5. Cut the wire you suspect of being the starter wire
6. Attempt to start the car. If the starter engages, reconnect it and go back to step 3. If the starter does not
engage, that is the correct wire.
WIRING A RELAY FOR STARTER DISABLE
•
Most security systems include a starter disable. The security system controls a relay that interrupts the flow of
power to the starter solenoid when the alarm is armed and an attempt is made to start the vehicle. However, it
is important to note that if the vehicle has a manual transmission, this will not prevent the vehicle from being
“roll started.”
•
Solid wire connections must be made. For maximum dependability, solder and shrink tube the connections.
•
Wires should be wrapped in 3M electrical tape or plastic tubing to match the factory wiring.
