BEFORE YOU BEGIN

BEFORE YOU BEGIN

Congratulations, you have purchased one of the most advanced remote starter systems ever made. Your new remote starter is a technological breakthrough utilizing the most advanced, state-of-the-art technology and components. It is computer controlled and manufactured in the U.S.A. The dependability and variety of features make Bulldog Security the leader in the industry. Enjoy your new remote starter for years to come!

This remote system is designed to start your vehicle by sending a command signal from the remote transmitter or by programming automatic temperature start. It is required that your installation be done in a well- ventilated area. It is the responsibility of the owner to ensure that the remote system is not used to start the vehicle in an undesired location.

It is recommended that a carbon monoxide detector be installed in the living area near the location where the vehicle may be garaged.

Since there are many different makes and models of vehicles, for a more complete wiring chart, visit our website, www.bulldogsecurity.com to access your vehicle’s colors and location of wires.

Read this manual thoroughly BEFORE starting the installation. Most newer vehicles may have a factory anti- theft system. If you vehicle is equipped with this system, an additional module, Part #781 or #791, will be required. Contact 800-659-0764 to order this item. Please do not skip any steps. Mount the control module under the driver’s dash inside the vehicle after all connections have been made. Do not mount the control module in the engine compartment.

TACH/TACHLESS OPERATION

In most cases the decision to go with tachless mode will save time during the installation. If your vehicle is hard-starting then you should use tach mode.

MAKE SURE YOU PLACE THE WARNING STICKER UNDER THE HOOD.

PRECAUTIONS

This system is designed for use with vehicles equipped with fuel-injected,

gasoline engines with automatic transmissions only.

SAFETY FIRST!

Never remotely start your vehicle indoors, with the keys in the ignition or unless the transmission is in park. A periodic safety check is recommended to ensure that your system is in proper working order.

DO NOT use mechanical wiring connections, such as crimp or snap together wire connectors. Instead, follow the instructions on page 3-4.

DO NOT disconnect the battery if the vehicle has an anti-theft-coded radio or is equipped with an airbag. Doing so may cause a warning light to be displayed which may require a trip to the dealer to be corrected.

DO NOT leave the interior or exterior lights on for an extended period of time as it may cause battery drain. Remove the dome light fuse from the vehicle’s fuse box. NOTE: Starter systems do not work well with a partially discharged battery.

WARNING!

GENERAL MOTORS REAR WHEEL DRIVE VEHICLES AND DODGE DAKOTAS

All General Motors rear wheel drive vehicles and Dodge Dakotas built prior to 1996 do not have an electrical neutral safety switch. They have a mechanical neutral safety switch. The mechanical neutral safety switch operates as follows.

a)The key will only turn to the start position when the gear selector is in park or neutral. b)The key can only be removed from the ignition switch when the gear selector is in the park

position.

You must use special precautions with this system.

USING YOUR TEST PROBE

To operate your test probe, connect the black clip to a good chassis ground. Connect the red clip to a good

12V positive source. If the test probe is connected correctly, both the green and the red lights will be dimly illuminated. If a positive source is probed, the red light will glow bright and the green light will go out. If a negative source is probed, the green light will glow bright and the red light will go out.
