INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Connecting to Power and Ground

1. T ouch the negative lead from a computer-friendly test light to a metal part of your vehicle and use

the positive lead to probe for a point in the fuse block that has 12 volts when your vehicle ignition
is off.

2. Remove the fuse at that position and touch the lead to both fuse contacts. Only one contact should

indicate 12 volts. Connect the system’s RED wire to that contact or any other constant 12 volt source,
then replace the fuse.

3. Connect the system’s BLACK wire to a metal vehicle chassis part, using an existing bolt or screw.

4. Plug the wiring harness three pin connector into the system with the YELLOW wire to the left as shown

below.

5. Immediately press Button #2 on your transmitter. This teaches the system to recognize the transmitter.

Connecting the Starter Immobilizer
Test for the cranking wire at the base of the steering column. When testing, the cranking wire will show
12 DC only when the key is in the cranking position. Once located, cut the wire in two. Try to crank the
engine, it should not crank. Next, mark both ends of the cranking wire. The wire running back into the
steering column should be marked KEY SIDE, and the wire running toward the engine should be marked STARTER
SIDE.

1. Connect the RED/BLACK wire from the wiring harness to the wire market KEY SIDE.

2. Connect the WHITE wire from the wiring harness to the wire marked STARTER SIDE. TEST: Press transmitter

Button #1 to arm the system and then try to start the engine, it should not start. Press transmitter
Button #2 to disarm the system. This time the engine should start. Make sure all your connections are
electrically sound.

Installing the Flashing LED Status Indicator
The LED indicator installs inside your vehicle and should be installed as high as possible and in view
from all windows. Drill a 1/4 mounting hole in the dash panel or use the supplied mounting bracket to
hold the LED status indicator in place. Push the LED through the hole, install the grommet from the front
side, then press the grommet and the LED back into the hole as shown below.
