NOTE: A second 4002 series diode may be required to maintain the integrity of the hood open, shut down
circuit. If this is the case, it must be installed as shown in the diagram above. The anode (Non Striped)
side must be connected to the Gray/Black wire of the Remote Start Unit. The cathode (Striped) side
must be connected to the hood pin switch. If the hood pin switch is also used for an alarm trigger input,
be certain to use a dual diode assembly as shown in the diagram above.
AFTER THE CONNECTION OF THE NEUTRAL START SAFETY WIRE AS INDICATED IN ANY OF THE
PREVIOUS ALTERNATE CONFIGURATIONS, THIS CIRCUIT MUST BE TESTED FOR OPERATION.
Retest by following the steps outlined in the NEUTRAL START SAFETY TEST shown in this manual.
COMPLETING THE INSTALLATION:
1 . Select a desired mounting location for the program switch and the control switch. The switches may be
mounted in or below the dash by drilling a 1/4" dia. hole. Be sure to check behind the dash for adequate
clearance for the body of the switch, and to confirm that the drill will not damage any existing components
as it passes through the dash. Always try to mount these switches so that when the switch is moved to
the upward position it is on (closed to ground). Always place the red switch handle cover, (provided), on the
control switch so it will be easy for your customer to distinguish the control switch from the program switch.
2. Mount the control module behind the dash using cable ties or sheet metal screws.
3. Securely tape and tie all wiring up and away from all hot or moving objects that may come in contact with
under the dash area.
CAUTION: Particularly avoid the area around the steering shaft and steering column, as wires can wrap around
these mechanisms and impede the vehicles ability to be properly controlled.
4. Apply the Caution label included in the kit to an area in the engine compartment that is clearly visible when
the hood is opened. Make sure the surface is clean before applying the label.
5. Replace all panels that were removed during installation, and re-test the system.
6. Explain all activated features of the remote starter to the customer.
