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.readyremote.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.
18
© 2007 Directed Electronics
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, use 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.

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.
If your vehicle requires more than one accessory then the GREEN
igniton 2 wire can be programmed to function as an accessory
output.
21
© 2007 Directed Electronics
If the GREEN wire is being used for Ignition 2, an additional relay
(not provided) is required for a 2nd accessory. Refer to the
diagram below.
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 Toyota 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.
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.
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.

Step 2, H1, Main Harness Connections
Factory Alarm Disarm
Since many newer vehicles come equipped with a factory alarm, it
is necessary to disarm it when unlocking the doors or during
remote start. Do not mistake a factory alarm with an immobilizer
system. They each require different disarm operations.
Locate the factory alarm disarm wire using the web site information. Once the suspect wire is located, place the multi-meter's red
lead to a (+)12 volt constant source and secure it. Put the multimeter in the DC position. Then probe the suspect wire with the
black lead of your meter. While probing the wire, place the key in
the driver's door cylinder. Turn it to the unlock position and hold
it when testing for the disarm wire. The multimeter should read
12V and will go back to 0V when the key is released.
When the correct wire has been found, solder the BROWN/WHITE
wire of the 6-pin harness to the wire that you determined to be
the factory alarm disarm wire. After this wire has been connected,
wrap the connection with electrical tape.
Note! Some vehicles use a (+) trigger factory alarm
system. Use the website to determine if your vehicle
has a (+) trigger. If your vehicle has such a system,
call 1-800-477-1382 for live technical assistance, as
special wiring and an additional relay is required.
Note! On some vehicles the Factory Alarm Disarm
wire is connected to a Body Control Module or a Door
Module. If you find this configuration, please call
Technical Support at 1-800-477-1382.

Parking Light Flash
There are several different types of parking light circuits. The
following description is for a standard positive-triggered parkinglight circuit only. If the web vehicle information suggests a (-)
parking light circuit, the fuse jumper (on the side of the module)
must be moved to the opposite position.
A red 10 amp mini-fuse is included in a small plastic bag inside
the packaging. THIS FUSE MUST BE INSERTED FOR THE PARKING
LIGHTS TO WORK!
Using the web information on the vehicle, locate the suspected
wire. Connect the black multimeter lead to ground in the kick
panel. Probe the suspected wire with the red lead of your meter.
With the switch in the off position the multimeter should read 0
volts. While watching the multimeter, turn your headlight switch
to the parking light position. The multimeter should read 12 volts.
While testing the suspected wire, run the dash dimmer light
control up and down. The voltage should NOT vary. If the voltage
does vary, then this is the wrong wire. Continue probing to find
the correct wire.
Once you have identified the correct wire, solder the small YELLOW
wire of the 6-pin harness to it and wrap the connection with electrical tape. If your light circuit tests the opposite position, you
most likely have a (-) parking light circuit.
Important! Remember this description is for a (+)
parking light circuit. A (-) circuit will test differently.
Also, if the web information requires using resistors
for parking lights, contact Technical Support.

Safety Shutdown Wires
With all ignition wires properly connected, find the appropriate
safety shutdown wires. These are the brake wire and hood pin
wires.
First locate the factory brake wire using your multimeter. Find the
switch at the top of the metal arm coming off the brake pedal. Use
your vehicle specific wiring information to determine the color of
this wire. With the black lead of your multimeter still in the kick
panel, probe the suspected wire with the red lead of your multimeter.
With the brake pedal at reset, the multimeter should read 0 volts.
While watching the multimeter, depress the brake pedal. The
multimeter should read 12 volts. Once you have located the
correct brake wire, solder the small ORANGE wire in the 6-pin
harness to it and wrap the connection with electrical tape.
Installing the hood pin switch requires drilling a hole in a metal
lip under the hood. Choose a location that will allow the pin
switch to be completely depressed when the hood is closed. The
pin switch has a spade connector on the bottom for the wire
connection.
WARNING! Wear eye protection when drilling.
WARNING! Do not use the vehicle until you
confirm the operation of the brake shutdown.
WARNING! These wires are meant to protect the
vehicle and anyone near the vehicle. They MUST
be connected to prevent damage to the vehicle
and possible bodily injury.

Crimp your spade connector to the hood pin wire, and run the wire
into the vehicle's passenger compartment through a factory rubber
grommet (at the same time you might want to run the Tachometer
Input wire and Horn output wire from the Optional Harness
through the fire wall as you may need to connect them using the
following steps).
Using a sharp, pointed object, poke a hole into the grommet
(being careful not to damage any existing wires in the grommet)
and attach the wire to the object with electrical tape. Pull the
wire through the grommet, taking extra care to keep the wire away
from any moving parts or anything that will generate extreme
heat.
An alternative to this method would be to find a spot on the firewall with sufficient clearance on both sides and drill an access
hole through the firewall. Take note of what is directly on the
other side of where you are drilling as to not puncture brake cylinders, computers, etc. Once the wire is run into the vehicle and
secured from any moving parts, solder the wire to the VIOLET wire
of the 6-pin harness and wrap the connection with electrical tape.
WARNING! This wire MUST be connected. Do not
use the vehicle until you confirm the operation
of the hood pin shutdown. Improper operation
could result in serious injury or death.

Step 3, H3 Door Lock Connections
There are eight different types of door lock systems (Type A - H).
Refer to the vehicle-specific wiring instructions on the web and
the chart below to help determine which door lock system your
vehicle uses. On some late model GM vehicles a door lock data
interface module may be required.
Type A: Three-wire (+) pulse controlling factory lock relays.
Type B: Three-wire (-) pulse controlling factory lock relays.
Type C: Direct-wired reversing-polarity switches. The switches are
wired directly to the motors. This type of system has no factory
relays. Relays (not included) will be required for this type of door
lock system.
Type D: Adding one or more aftermarket actuators. These include
slave systems without an actuator in the driver's door, but with
factory actuators in all the other doors.
Type E: Electrically-activated vacuum systems.
Type F: One-wire system - cut to lock, ground to unlock.
This is a very rare system found mainly in early 90's imports
Type G: Positive (+) multiplex. One wire controls lock and unlock
using resistor(s).
Type H: Negative (-) multiplex. Same as type G system, but uses
(-) pulse instead.
Note! From the factory, your system is set up for Type
B (-) door locks. To change your door lock outputs to
Type A (+), simply use the wires in the opposite configuration. You will now have (+) door locks.

All other door lock systems will require additional relays and/or
resistors. A Directed Electronics 451M Doorlock module can be
used for these other applications. The 451M also includes diagrams and resistors required for most applications.

Type A: Three-wire (+) pulse controlling factory lock relays
The system can control Type A door locks directly, with no additional parts. The switch will have three wires on it; one will test
(+)12 volt constantly. The others will alternately pulse (+)12 volt
when the switch is pressed to the lock or unlock position.
If you cannot get to the switch, and you find a set of wires that
pulse (+)12 volt alternately on lock and unlock, make sure that it
is not a Type C direct-wire system.
Here is a test: Cut the wire that pulses (+)12V on lock, and then
operate the switch. If the locks stop working, then you have the
correct wire.
Many GM vehicles use Type A locks. However, some GM vehicles are
Type C. This system usually appears in older GM vehicles (1980-
1995). The full-size pickups (1989-up), many of the Blazers, the
Corvette, 1995 Cavalier/Sunfire 1993, and the newer
Camaro/Firebird, all use Type C door locks, and cannot be
controlled without relays.
Almost all newer Fords are Type B. Ford builds no Type A systems.
Chrysler now uses multiplex door lock systems (Type G or H) that
require relays and resistors to properly interface the circuit.

Important: Remember that these wires’ functions reverse between
Type A and Type B.
