WARNING

➤

Verify that the transmission is set to park and that the parking brake is set before beginning installation.

➤

On vehicles with air bags or supplemental restraint systems (SRS) you may notice a bright yellow tube with small wires in it marked SRS underneath the steering column near the key cylinder. DO NOT tamper or unplug these for any reason to prevent costly damages to your vehicle or personal injury. Tampering may cause unintended deployment of airbags.

➤

This system is intended for automatic, fuel-injected vehicles only. Installation in any other vehicle is contrary to its intended use.

Step 1, Heavy Gauge Wire Connections

Ground Wire

The BLACK wire connects to the pin next to the light flash jumper fuse. First strip back a ¾-inch section of the insulation off the BLACK wire and crimp a ring terminal (not provided) to that wire. Locate a clean, paint-free metal surface in the drivers kick panel (do not ground on dash). Using a self-tapping screw, drill the screw with the ring terminal to the kick panel. Once screwed down, pull on the wire to ensure a good connection.

Constant Power and Ignition wires

Almost all your power and ignition wires can be found behind the key cylinder under the lower driver's side dash panel. Using the appropriate hand tools, remove the lower dash panel taking care not to break any parts. If the panel does not come off easily, check for any additional screws you may have missed.

Once the lower dash panel has been removed, locate the ignition harness at the back of the key cylinder. This is usually a group of heavy gauge wires (approximate 14ga.).

Place the black lead of the LED tester to a clean metal surface in the kick panel area and secure it. Probe one of the thicker gauge wires. The ignition wire colors of your specific vehicle can be obtained at www.autocommand.com.

Testing for Constant Power Wires

WARNING! Before making any connection to constant

battery power make sure that the two 30 amp fuses are removed from the fuse holders on the two pink 12 VOLT wires. Failure to do so may cause fire or shorting of sensitive electrical components.

note! More problems are attributed to poor ground connections than any other cause. Take extra care to ensure the ground is a clean metal-to-metal contact and secure.

With the key in the off position, test the suspect wire. The constant power wire will read 12V on the multimeter. Once the constant power wire has been identified, solder the two heavy gauge 12 VOLT wires (PINK) from the control module to it and wrap the connection with electrical tape.

Testing for Ignition Wires

With the multimeter lead still connected in the kick panel, locate the suspected ignition wire. It will test differently than constant 12 volts. Place the red lead of the multimeter on the suspected wire. With the key in the off position the multimeter will read 0. Turn the key to the on position and the multimeter will read 12 volts. Now, watching your multimeter, turn the key to the crank position. If the 12 volts stays on, then you have found your ignition wire. If the wire tests correctly, solder the BLUE heavy gauge wire to it and wrap the connection with electrical tape.

If the vehicle requires more than one ignition as per the web site information, follow the same test procedure and solder the GREEN heavy gauge wire to it then wrap the connection with electrical tape. If your vehicle has only one ignition wire, secure the GREEN wire and dress it out of the way.

note! If the vehicle has more than one constant power wire, utilize two of them. Connect one of the heavy gauge PINK wires to one of the constant power wires and the other heavy gauge PINK wire to the other constant power wire.

If your vehicle requires more than two ignitions, an additional relay (not provided) is required. Refer to the diagram below.

Accessory and Starter wires

The starter and accessory wires will be located in the same harness as the ignition and constant power.

To find the accessory wire leave the multimeter’s black lead connected to ground. Take the red lead and probe the wire suspected to be the accessory wire. With the key off, your multimeter should read 0 volts. Turn the key to the on position the multimeter should read 12 volts. Now turn the key to the crank position. If you have the correct accessory wire the multimeter will read 0 volts while the starter is cranking and 12 volts once the key returns to the on position. If the wire tests correctly, strip some insulation off and solder the WHITE heavy gauge wire and wrap it with electrical tape. Refer to the diagram below.

If your vehicle requires more than one accessory then the GREEN ign2 wire can be programmed to function as an accessory output.

2nd ACCESSORY RELAY (NOT PROVIDED)

If the GREEN wire is being used for ign2 an additional relay (not provided) is required for a 2nd accessory.

Now that the accessories have been located, find the suspected starter wire according to the web information. Leave the black lead of your tester on ground and place the red lead of your multimeter on this wire. The multimeter should read 0 volts in all key positions except the crank position. In the crank position your multimeter should read 12 volts, and will go to 0 volts when the starter disengages.

Many Nissan and late-model Chrysler vehicles have two starter wires. A relay and/or resistor (not provided) is required to hook up the additional starter wire. Refer to the diagram below.

note! Always check the Web site information on your vehicle for warnings regarding the starter wire and check engine lights. Some vehicles will trip a check engine light if the starter wire is cut.

Once you locate the starter wire, cut the wire in half (check the web information before cutting) and try to start the vehicle. If the vehicle does not start, the correct wire has been identified. Reconnect both ends of the starter wire while soldering the thick YELLOW (6) wire of the heavy guage wires to it and wrap the connection with electrical tape.
