WIRING CONNECTIONS H1/2, H1/3 - Red wires - +12V Power Input Remove the (2) 20A fuses prior to connecting these wires and do not replace them until the satellite has been plugged into the control module. These wires are the source of current for all the circuits the relay satellite will energize. They must be connected to a high current source. Since the factory supplies (+) 12V to the key switch that is used to operate the motor, it is recommended that these wires be connected there.
VATS Passlock I 1. Remove the Lower Steering Column cover on the Steering Column. 2. Locate the (3)Three small 20 Gauge wires (YELLOW, BLACK and WHITE wires in a GRAY or BLACK Plug) coming out of the Ignition Key Cylinder on the Bottom right hand side of the Steering Column. 50 WIRING CONNECTIONS H2: 5-PIN WIRE HARNESS: H2/1 – RED/WHITE wire – Parking Light Relay Power Input – The RED/WHITE wire is the input to the flashing parking light relay.
WIRING CONNECTIONS - Route the black connector wire behind the trim and connect to the two-way transceiver/antenna. - Connect the other end to the control module. - Special considerations must be made for windshield glass as some newer vehicles utilize a metallic shielded window glass that will inhibit or restrict RF reception. In these vehicles, route the two-way transceiver/antenna module away from metallic shielded window glass as far as possible.
Vats 1. Measure the resistance of the little Pellet on the Ignition Key. It should be between 392 Ohms and 11,800 Ohms. To do this, put the Ohm Meter probes on each side of the Key Pellet. The Resistance value should be close to one of the following (all values in Ohms): 392, 523, 681, 887, 1.13K, 1.87K, 3.01K, 3.74K, 4.75K, 6.04K, 7.50K, 9.53K, 11.8K. 2. Locate the closest value that is less than your desired value. Set Dip Switches 2 through 6 to match the chart on Page 47. 3.
