yes u can hear the alarm make some noise but no starter engage, what did u use for the door trigger?? (the same yellow wire??) Big Red: I guess two for the locks, one for the dome light, I am wondeing about one for the starter, I have some type of on board relay if I need one for the starter how/can I use that??) This alarm is far harder than any thing I have wired on a car. Thanks

Well for the relays I am thanking I need two for the dook lock/unlock, one for dome lights, one for the horn, one for the parking light flash. The alarm I got the 7900 has a relay with it for the starter I dont know how to use the factory onboard relay. I just wonder what amp relays I should get? I am thanking that I am going to have it installed for me.

ok the r/s turn on the dash light but no crank

1. check the (purple?) start wire from r/s with a test light
while remote starting it should light up


if its not check the hood shut down wire for being grounded
,brake input shuting it down , there might be one wire used to shut down

make sure thats not grounded

email me direct if needed

hey big red

dei make a neat door lock relay module 451m?
so youll only need one of them

your basic 20 amp relays will work ,
most alarm cant handle the current
they supply the ground so the relay energizes
