➜ step 1 Plug-in LED and Valet/Program switch The LED and the Valet®/Program switch both plug into the control module. The status LED plugs into the white two-pin port, while the Valet®/Program switch should be plugged into the blue two-pin port. The status LED and Valet®/Program switch each fit into 9/32–inch holes.
location using caution to NOT run the wires near any moving objects or excessive heat. The Valet®/Program switch is usually mounted under the dash or in the glove box, the same precautions used for the LED should be followed. Once a location has been selected drill a 9/32 hole, feed the wires through the hole and press the switch firmly until it snaps into place. Run the wires to the same location as the LED using caution to NOT run the wires near any moving objects or excessive heat.
SELF-TAPPING BOLT OR SCREW GROUND WIRE DIA-591 NOTE: REMOVE ANY PAINT BELOW RING CONNECTOR RING CONNECTOR ➜ step 3 Constant Power and Ignition wires Almost all power and ignition wires can be found behind the key cylinder under the lower drivers side dash panel. Using the appropriate hand tools, remove the lower dash panel using care not to break any parts. If the panel does not come off easily check for any additional screws you may have missed.
thicker wires. With the ignition harness exposed, use your digital multi-meter to find your power and ignition wires. Place the black lead of the meter to a clean metal surface in the kick panel area and secure it. Put the meter in the DC voltage position, then take the red lead of the meter and probe one of the thicker gauge wires. The color and identity of your specific vehicle wiring can be obtained at www.diyrattler.com. With the key in the OFF position, test the suspect wire.
➜ step 4 Starter wire note: Optional 8618 starter kill relay is required. The starter wire will be located in the same harness as the ignition and constant power. Leaving the meter black lead connected to the metal ground. Find the wire suspected to be the starter wire according to the web information on your vehicle. Place the red lead of your meter on the wire. With the key in the off position the meter should read 0.00 volts and will stay at 0.00 volts in all key positions except the crank position.
identified. ➜ step 5 Parking light flash There are several different types of parking light circuits. The following description is for a standard positive-triggered parking light circuit, usually located at the light switch. If the web vehicle information suggests a different type of parking light circuit, please contact Rattler Technical Support. Using the web information on the vehicle, locate the suspected wire and place the BLACK lead of the meter to a ground and secure it.
important: While reading the meter turn (adjust) the dash dimmer control switch. The voltage should not vary on the meter. If the voltage does vary the incorrect suspected wire has been tested. Find the correct wire and retest. Once you have identified the correct wire, solder the WHITE (H1/2) wire on the main connector to it and cover the connection with electrical tape. ➜ step 6 Door locks The system comes with a built in relay pack for door lock operation.
guide. The door lock guide identifies the type of system for your vehicle. With the built in door lock relays you can properly interface the power locks with your security system. If you are unable to identify your door lock system with the web information please contact Rattler Technical Support. Although there are numerous types of door lock circuits, the most common is the negative triggered door lock system. If your vehicle has a negative triggered door lock system, follow the steps below.
■ Type A: Three-wire (+) pulse controlling factory lock relays. Most GM, some Ford and Chrysler, 1995 Saturn, some new VW, newer BMW. ■ Type B: Three-wire (-) pulse controlling factory lock relays. Most Asian vehicles, early Saturn, some BMW and Porsche. ■ Type C: Direct-wired reversing-polarity switches. The switches are wired directly to the motors. This type of system has no factory relays. Most Fords, many GM two-doors cars and trucks, many Chryslers.
ly found in Ford, Mazda, Chrysler and GM vehicles. The door lock switch or door key cylinder may contain either one or two resistors. ■ Type H: Negative (-) multiplex. The system is most commonly found in Ford, Mazda, Chrysler and GM vehicles. The door lock switch or door key cylinder may contain either one or two resistors. at the switch ■ Three-wire switches will have either a constant ground input or a constant (+)12V input, along with the pulsed lock and unlock outputs to the factory relays.
type A: positive-triggered, relay-driven system 18 © 2003 directed electronics, inc.
type B: negative-triggered, relay-driven system This system is common in many Toyota, Nissan, Honda, and Saturn models, as well as Fords with the keyless-entry system (some other Fords also use Type B). The switch will have three wires on it, and one wire will test ground all the time. One wire will pulse (-) when the switch locks the doors, and the other wire will pulse (-) when the switch unlocks the doors. This type of system is difficult to mistake for any other type. © 2003 directed electronics, inc.
type C: direct-wired, reversing-polarity system testing reversing polarity systems Use these instructions if the power door lock switch has four or five heavy-gauge wires. This type of switch has two outputs that rest at (-) ground. important: To interface with these systems, you must cut two switch leads. The relays must duplicate the factory door lock switches’ operation.
It is critical to identify the proper wires and locate the master switch to interface properly. Locate wires that show voltage when the switch is moved to the lock or unlock position. Cut one of the suspect wires and check operation of the locks from both switches. If one switch loses all operation in both directions then you have cut one of the correct wires and the switch that is entirely dead is the master switch.
*note: Except in GM cars with retained accessory power (RAP). In these vehicles, the (+)12V feed to the door lock switches is turned off if the doors are closed for any length of time. note: Most direct-wired power lock systems require 20-30 amps of current to operate. Connecting the violet/black wire to a poor source of voltage will keep the door locks from operating properly. ■ H2/D BROWN/BLACK: Connect the brown/black wire to the master switch side of the unlock wire.
type D: adding one or more after-market actuators Vehicles without factory power door locks require the installation of one actuator per door. This requires mounting the door lock actuator inside the door. Other vehicles may only require one actuator installed in the driver's door if all door locks are operated when the driver's lock is used. note: Adding door lock actuators can be complicated. Please contact Rattler technical support prior to attempting the addition of actuators.
type E: electrically-activated vacuum This system is found in Mercedes-Benz and Audi 1985 and newer. The door locks are controlled by an electrically activated vacuum pump. The control wire will show (+)12V when doors are unlocked and (-) ground when locked. note: The system must be programmed for 3.5-second door lock pulses, and the violet jumper between the #87 lock terminal and the #87 unlock terminal must be cut. Contact Rattler technical support. 24 © 2003 directed electronics, inc.
type F: one-wire system (cut to lock, ground to unlock) This type of door lock system usually requires a negative pulse to unlock, and cutting the wire to lock the door. (With some vehicles, these are reversed.) It is found in the late-model Nissan Sentras, some Nissan 240SX, Nissan 300ZX 1992 and later. It is also found in some Mazda MPV's. note: The violet jumper between the #87 lock terminal and the #87 unlock terminal must be cut. © 2003 directed electronics, inc.
type G: positive (+) multiplex This system is most commonly found in Ford, Mazda, Chrysler and GM vehicles. The door lock switch or door key cylinder may contain either one or two resistors. SINGLE-RESISTOR TYPE: If one resistor is used in the door lock switch/key cylinder, the wire will pulse (+)12V in one direction and less than (+)12V when operated in the opposite direction.
3. Operate the door lock switch/key cylinder in both directions to determine the resistor values. If the multimeter displays zero resistance in one direction, no resistor is needed for that direction. 4. Once the resistor value(s) is determined, refer to the wiring diagram for proper wiring. type H: negative (+) multiplex The system is most commonly found in Ford, Mazda, Chrysler and GM vehicles. The door lock switch or door key cylinder may contain either one or two resistors.
TWO-RESISTOR TYPE: If two resistors are used in the factory door lock switch/key cylinder, the door lock switch/key cylinder will read resistance to ground in both directions. DETERMINING THE PROPER RESISTOR VALUES: To determine the resistor values, the door lock switch/key cylinder must be isolated from the factory door lock system. For testing, use a calibrated digital multimeter that is set to ohms. IMPORTANT: To ensure an accurate resistance reading, do not touch the resistor or leads during testing. 1.
Locate the suspected lock wire, and with the red meter lead still secured to a (+)12 volt source, probe the suspect wire with the black lead of the meter. Press the door lock switch to the lock position and watch the meter display. The correct wire will show a 10.00 to 12.00 volt pulse when the switch is pressed. note: Additional parts may be required to interface with certain door lock types. The Rattler Do-It-Yourself system comes with on board relays. © 2003 directed electronics, inc.
➜ step 7 Horn Honk This wire provides a negative pulsed output for audible confirmation of the door locks through the horn. Locate the suspected horn wire using the information sheet for your specific vehicle. With the red lead of the meter attached to a 12-volt constant source, connect the black lead to the suspect horn wire and honk the horn. The meter should read between 11.00 and 12.00 volts.
➜ step 9 Optional connections (channels 2 and 3) When the system receives the code controlling channel 2, for longer than 1.5 seconds, the RED/WHITE wire (H1/12channel 2) will supply an output as long as the transmission continues. This is often used to operate a trunk/hatch release or other relay-driven function. When the system receives the code controlling channel 3, the output is instantaneous, and the WHITE/BLUE wire (H1/3channel 3) will supply an output as long as the transmission continues.
➜ step 10 Testing the system With all the previous steps completed, the operation of the system can now be tested. Close all the doors and press the button on the transmitter to lock the doors, the system should honk the horn once and the parking lights should flash once. Press the button on the transmitter to unlock the doors. The horn should honk twice and the parking lights should flash twice.
➜ standard configuration Button The door locking and unlocking function are controlled by pressing . Button This channel 2 accessory is used for trunk release. Button This channel 3 accessory is an additional channel for optional accessory functions such as remote start. © 2003 directed electronics, inc.
transmitter/receiver learn routine The system comes with 2 transmitters that have been taught to the receiver. The receiver can store up to 4 different transmitter codes in memory. Use the following learn routine to add transmitters to the system or to change button assignments if desired. The Disarm/Program switch, plugged into the blue port, is used for programming. There is a basic sequence of steps to remember whenever programming this unit: Key, Choose, Transmit and Release. 1. Key.

feature descriptions 1 IGNITION CONTROLLED DOOR LOCKS ON/OFF: When turned on, the doors will lock three seconds after the ignition is turned on and unlock when the ignition is turned off. 2 DOOR LOCK PULSE DURATION: Some European vehicles, such as Mercedes-Benz and Audi, require longer lock and unlock pulses to operate the vacuum pump. Programming the system to provide 3.5 second pulses will accommodate door lock interface in these vehicles. The default setting is 0.8 second door lock pulses.
5 CODE HOPPING ™ ON/OFF: This system features Code Hopping™ as an option. Code Hopping™ is a feature that uses a mathematical formula to change the system’s code each time the transmitter and receiver communicate. This makes the group of bits or "word" from the transmitter very long. The longer the word is, the easier it is to block its transmission to the unit. Disabling the Code Hopping™ feature lets the receiver ignore the Code Hopping™ part of the transmitted word.
