Default Need help wiring remote car starter

Hi i have a question about wiring my remote car starter. When i connent the 4 wires to the ignition harness i am a little confused. On the wiring diagram it says starter wire ignition 1 and ignition2, 12 v constant, and acce4ssory 1 and accessory 2 wires. Now is the strarter wire the wire on the start possition of the ignition key? Is the ignition 1 and 2 on the on possition of the ignition key? Is the 12v constant wire on the on position of the ignition key. and accessory is the acc on the ignition key??

I just installed the wires and when i press the start button all the lighs in the dashboard turn on just like i would put the key in the on position but then it turns off.? could that be becasue i didn't connect the tach wire? or what else could it be.

The tachwire shouldn't be the problem. Did you connct the Arm and Disarm wires in the drivers kick panel. By the parking brake?

I have no idea what it disarms...lol But what I do know is that it will not work unless those are connected. Mine did the same thing. Glad I could help, Let me know if that fixes it.

Not for those wires, but did need 330ohm resistor for the parking lights. To make them flash when you hit the button.
