Before you install the system, thor- oughly read the “Installation” section of this manual. Then decide where to mount the control module and its components and where to route all wiring. Be sure each component’s wires reach from the main control module’s mounting location. These preparations could save you the trou- ble of remounting and rerouting your alarm system’s wiring and compo- nents.

To complete the installation, you need to identify and connect to the following parts of your vehicle’s wiring system.

Chassis Ground

Constant +12 Volts

Accessory Power +12 Volts (only on when vehicle ignition is set to ON or ACC)

Starter Solenoid Ignition Wire from the Key Switch

Power Door Lock Actuation Wires (if you have power door locks)

Door Switch Wire

Parking Lights Wire

Fold out this manual’s back cover so you can see the wiring diagram as you make each connection and fold out the front cover and follow the checklist as you install the system.

Warning: Installation of this system requires that you modify parts of your vehicle’s electrical system. To safely do this, you must also have informa- tion about your vehicle’s electrical system. Before you start the installa- tion, be sure you have an accurate electrical diagram for your vehicle and know how to read it. Most vehicle service manuals include this informa- tion.

If necessary, call 1-800-598-2527 for information about your vehicle’s wir- ing.

USING WIRE PIERCING PROBE ADAPTERS

Many procedures in this manual re- quire that you determine the voltage level being carried by an insulated wire. RadioShack Wire Piercing Probe Adapters (Cat. No. 278-715) let you easily do this using a test light or volt meter.

Simply slide the adapter onto your test light’s or meter’s probes. Then press the probe’s pointed metal tip through the insulation of the wire you want to test.
