By Make sure your vehicle is working properly before starting the installation process. Turn on the vehicle to check the lights and hear the engine to make sure it is not making any noises that might indicate a problem. If the vehicle is not working properly, het it fixed before proceeding with the installation.
Disconnect the positive (red) terminal of the battery under the hood as it prevents electric shock while working on the wiring.
Locate the internal wiring by removing the panel below the lever of the steering column and open it gently with a flathead screwdriver. These cables are color-coded and the tip of cylinder ignition switch in various parts of the vehicle.
Connect the power cord to the wiring of remote starter system. The power cables are black or contain a black stripe. This power supply requires 12 volts to power the engine with remote starter. If there are more than one power cords, connect the opener which can support a greater load and has a larger fuse. Cut the wires with a pair of wire cutters, ripping off the ends, and rotate together with a plug wire to keep the connection in place.
- Locate the ignition cable using a multi-meter. The tester shows 10 to 14 volts with the key in the ‘Start’ position. This step could not be easier with the help of an assistant to turn on for you. Connect the power cord to the remote car starter.
- Locate the accessory cable using a multi-meter. The tester shows 11.5-14 volts when the key is turned in the ‘accessory’. Connect the accessory cable for remote boot.
- Locate the jumper wire with a multi-meter. This cable will show 11.5-14 volts when the key is in the ‘Run’ position. Connect the starter cable to remote starter for engine.
- Connect the ground cable starter at a distance over a clean surface on the firewall of your car. Connection is required to operate properly grounded remote starter. Do not connect the ground wire directly to the battery terminal as this could damage the battery.
- Look for the reference signal with tachometer cable tracing the spark plug wires on the electronic control module. On the form, there will be a thread which must be attached to remote starter with tachometer reference. This reference signal indicates the remote starter to the vehicle is running and for the starter to continue to crank the engine.
- Replace the lid on the steering wheel once the system has been connected.
- Check the starter by pressing the ‘Start’ button on the remote starter key which should start immediately after pressing the button.
Select the features you want to install from the remote car starter. Several units have the ability to remote start the installation security configuration in addition to the remote start function. Other units may be able to pop open the trunk or lower windows automatically with the push of a button. Search manual for remote start for a list of features of remote starter. Check the cables in the receiver unit of remote starter with duct tape and a marker for each feature you want to install.
Remove the negative battery cable of your vehicle. It is important to disconnect the battery when working on the electrical system of your vehicle. Disable the airbag to disconnect the electrical connection which is usually located inside one of the access panels of your steering wheel. Use the electrical wiring diagram of the vehicle to identify and label the cables for the features you want to install in your remote starter system.
Expose the frame console on driver side under the dashboard by removing the covers and panels with a wrench or a screwdriver. Look for a cavity within the framework of the receiving unit console. Mount it on the receiver which has enough space for the cables to connect to the vehicle’s electrical system and there will still be enough space to be covered up by the panels and covers. Ensure the remote starter kit is equipped with brackets and clamps to secure the receiver unit under the console.
Solder wire remote starter kit in the circuit corresponding features in your car. Use shrink wrap to protect the welded joints. Bundle the cables with zip ties or electrical tape. Cables for functions that are not used by your remote starter system must be bundled separately and taped together, so that they are out of the way. Throw the black wire from the remote starter and wrap it around the frame. Cover the wire with black insulation tape, so that it is permanently attached to the structure, acting as a base for the system.
Now reconnect the negative battery cable and the airbag. Test the system using a multi-meter to check the welds and connections for any features that do not work in the accurate manner. If a feature is not working properly, remote starter kits are scheduled to troubleshoot a series of long and short flashes of the parking lights of the vehicle. The solution to the key problems of code is in the manual remote car starter.
