Wiring Connections
- NOTE -
The
following
sections
detail
connections
for
each wire, of
each
system's
wiring harnesses.
Always
insure
that
the
Black
ground
wire is grounded, and
that
the
secondary
wiring
harness
is plugged in,
before
connecting
power
circuits
to
the
control module. The best
installation
proce-
dure
is
to
make all
connections,
and
only
then plug the
individual wiring harnesses into the system control module.
Main Wiring Harness
(5-Wire Connector)
Black Wire - (Ground): The Black wire provides Negative ground for
the system; proper connection
of
this wire is very important.
CONNECTION: Using the correctly sized crimp-on ring terminal, connect the
Black wire to the metal frame
of
the vehicle, preferably using an existing machine-
threaded fastener. Make sure that the ring terminal attached to the Black wire has
contact with bright, clean metal.
If
necessary, scrape any paint, rust or grease away
from the connection point until the metal is bright and clean.
If
the control module
has an insufficient ground connection, the security system can find partial ground
through the wires that are connected to other circuits, and function, but not
correctly. As the system can partially operate, a bad ground wire connection would
not likely be suspected, and in many cases a poor ground is difficult to diagnose.
Red Wire - (Constant Power Input): The Red wire's function
is
to
supply Constant Positive
12
Volts for security system's operation. When
12
Volts
is first applied to the Red wire, the system will revert to the state in which it was in
when power was taken away.
If
the vehicle to be serviced, especially
if
it involves
the battery, the system should be placed in Valet Mode. This will prevent the system
from being activated ifthe battery is disconnected and reconnected.
The
Red wire
also supplies
12
Volt Positive to the module's internal relay for flashing the parking
lights.
CONNECTION: Connect the Red wire to a Constant Positive
12
Volt source.
This source should have Positive
12
Volts with at least a
15
Amp
capacity at all times
and in all ignition key positions. Connection locations can be at the supply wire at
