Use a Digital Multi Meter for testing and verifying

circuits. DO NOT USE A TEST LIGHT, OR

"COMPUTER SAFE PROBE" as these can set off air

bags or damage vehicle computers.

Use grommets when routing wires through metal

surfaces

BEFORE YOU BEGIN

3 Pin Lock Output Harness

9 Pin Input / Output Harness

5 Pin Main Harness

3 BLACK GROUND

Connect the BLACK wire to a solid chassis ground point using a ring terminal and

self tapping screw (not supplied). Scrape away paint from the grounding point to

ensure a good connection. The recommended grounding point is a metal surface

in the driver’s side kick panel area.

NOTE: Do not ground the BLACK wire with any other vehicle components.

5 Pin Main Harness

1 WHITE/RED PARKING LIGHT INPUT

2 WHITE PARKING LIGHT OUTPUT

Locate the parking light output wire at the vehicle’s light switch.

Verification: This wire registers positive voltage when the parking lights are

turned on.

Positive switching Parking Lights:

Connect the WHITE/RED wire to a 15 Amp max fused battery source.

Connect the WHITE wire to the parking light output wire.

Negative switching Parking Lights:

Connect the WHITE/RED wire to a good chassis ground.

Connect the WHITE wire to the parking light output wire.

4 BROWN SIREN OUTPUT ( + )

Locate a suitable mounting location in the engine compartment for the siren, away

from moving parts.

tapping screws, being careful not do drill into any hoses, wiring or components.

Connect the BLACK siren wire to a chassis ground using a ring terminal and self

tapping screw (not supplied).

Route the BROWN siren output wire from the control module through the firewall

and connect to the RED wire on the siren.

NOTE: Be sure to loom the siren wires, and seal the grommet.

3 ORANGE GROUNDWHENARMEDOUTPUT(- )

This wire will have a continuous ( - ) 500mA output when the system is Armed. This

wire is typically used for controlling window modules or additional sensors.

5 RED BATTERY 12V ( + )

Locate 1 of the vehicle’s constant 12 Volt battery wires at the ignition switch.

Verification: This wire will register ( + ) voltage in all positions of the ignition

switch.

Connect the RED wire to the constant 12 Volt battery wire.

NOTE: Remove all fuses until all connections are made.

9 Pin Input / Output Harness

1 BLUE/WHITE INSTANTTRIGGERINPUT(-)

This wire is a GROUND input for an external sensor or secondary pin switch.

Verification: This wire when connected will trigger the security system.

2 GREEN DOORTRIGGERINPUT(- )

Locate the vehicle’s dome light or door pin switch wire.

Verification: This wire will register ground (NEG) when the door is opened

and the interior light is on. This wire will register positive voltage when the

door is closed and the interior light is off.

Connect the GREEN wire to the vehicle’s negative door input wire(s).

NOTE: Certain vehicles may require multiple connections. Refer to vehicle

application guide

6 RED/WHITE TRUNKRELEASEOUTPUT( - )

Locate the vehicle’s trunk release wire at the trunk release switch.

Verification: This wire will register either positive voltage or ground when the trunk

release is activated.

This is a low current output, 500mA.

4 PURPLE DOORTRIGGER INPUT (+)

Locate the vehicle’s dome light or door pin switch wire.

Verification: This wire will register positive voltage (POS) when the door is

opened and the interior light is on. This wire will

off.

Connect the PURPLE wire to the vehicle’s positive door input wire(s).

NOTE: Certain vehicles may require multiple connections. Refer to vehicle

application guide

5 YELLOW IGNITIONINPUT(+)

Locate the vehicle’s ignition wire at the ignition switch.

Verification: This wire registers voltage when the key is turned to the ON (or

RUN) position. The voltage does not drop out when the key is turned to the

START(or CRANK) position.

Connect the YELLOW wire to the vehicle’s Ignition wire.

7 BROWN/BLACK HORNOUTPUT ( -)

Locate the vehicle’s horn wire.

Verification: This wire will register at positive voltage and register

ground when the horn switch is pressed.

Connect the BROWN/BLACK wire to the vehicle’s horn wire. This is a low current

output, 500mA.

8 VIOLET/BLACK AUX 1

This wire provides a ( - ) 500mA output capable of driving relays. For Control of

optional accessories (i.e. Power Window/Sunroof, etc.).

To activate refer to the transmitter button configuration chart. Please refer to the

selectable options for timing.

9 LTGREEN/BLACK FACTORY DISARM OUTPUT ( - )

factory perimeter alarm disarm wire from the key cylinder inside the drivers door.

Verification: This wire registers ground if the key is turned to the unlock

position in the driver’s door cylinder.

Connect the LT GREEN/BLACK wire to the factory alarm disarm wire.

3 Pin Lock Output Harness

1 BLUE UNLOCK ( - )

3 GREEN LOCK ( - )

The door lock / unlock outputs are designed to control several different types of
