Installation guide P.5

InstallationOrder

The following is a suggested order for the Installation procedure. It is intended as a guide for novices, to help

make the process of installing a remote starter module easier. Time is wasted by rewiring the module when

mistakes are made. Also, the neatness of the installation is lessened every time the module is taken down and

the wiring is “corrected”.

♦ Visit www.Prostart.org

to obtain a copy of your vehicle’s tech sheet. (wire colors and locations)

♦ Before you get started, make sure the vehicle starts and idles properly with the Ignition key, and that the

electrical system is not compromised in any way.

♦ After deciding what options are to be added to the basic installation, you can start by looking for the wires

that will be needed.

♦ Remember to be careful when removing the panels that are covering the wires you are searching for.

♦ Once all of the wires have been found, they should be tested to verify that they are the correct ones needed

for the installation.

♦ When all the wires have been tested and found, they can be stripped to expose the wire (over one inch of

insulation should be removed).

♦ It is always better to strip more than you need. A common way cold solder joints happen is when not enough

insulation is stripped off the vehicle's wire, so during the soldering process the insulation from the wire melts

and flows into the connection instead of the solder.

♦ Decide where the module is going to be mounted. It is ALWAYS mounted inside the passenger

compartment, and NEVER in the engine bay. Under the driver's side of the dash there is usually enough room

for the module to fit. Once the location has been decided, proceed to the next step.

♦ Mount the antenna and run the cable to the location where the module is going to be mounted. The antenna

will get the best range when it is high up in the vehicle, and not obstructed by metal. The most common choice

is the center of the windshield at the top, behind the rear view mirror, and at least one inch below the tint strip.

Another location should be used if there is another antenna in this location, compass, or other device that may

interfere with the range of the start module.

♦ In the engine compartment, mount the hood pin, in a suitable location. Search along the firewall for an OEM

grommet you run the wires through. If you cannot find an OEM grommet to use, you will have to drill a hole. The

hole must be big enough for all of your wires to fit through. To be safe drill the hole out a little bigger so the

wires will have ample room. We recommend using an aftermarket grommet whenever you drill a hole through

the firewall. This will protect the wires from rubbing against the bare metal and possibly shorting out. The next

step is to pre-wire the module. This is done on your work bench, and not in the vehicle. Connect any external

modules and relays that may be needed for you install. Tape or tie-strap wires that are going to be routed to the

same areas of the vehicle. This will keep things neat when the module is in the vehicle. The fuses on the power

wires should be removed during the pre-wire stage. The fuses will not be put back in until the powering stage of

the installation.

♦ Connect all the necessary accessories to the module before mounting it in the vehicle. Use tie-straps to

secure it to the vehicle. Make sure the module and harnessing do not interfere with any moving parts, and do

not obstruct access to diagnostic ports, or fuse boxes. It should be up in the dash, high enough that it won't get

kicked by accident.

♦ Once the module is secured, route the wires to the previously stripped wires they correspond to (leave the

engine compartment wires for last). Tie strap them up as you go, so they do not interfere with anything else.

♦ When all of the passenger compartment wires are ran to their locations, you can route the engine

compartment wires through the firewall.
