Safety Shutdown Wires
With all ignition wires properly connected, find the appropriate
safety shutdown wires. These are the brake wire and hood pin wires.
First locate the factory brake wire using your LED tester. Find
the switch at the top of the metal arm coming off the brake
pedal. There are usually two wires connected to that switch.
Locate the wire color according to the web information. With
your black lead still in the kick panel, probe the suspected wire
with the red lead of the LED tester. With the brake pedal at rest
the LED tester should be extinguished. While watching the
tester, depress the brake pedal. The LED tester should illumi-
nate. Once you have located the correct brake wire, strip a small
portion of insulation off this wire and solder the small BROWN
(H1/3) wire on the main harness to it and wrap the connection
with electrical tape.
important! Do not use the vehicle until you confirm the
operation of the brake shutdown.
important! These wires are meant to protect the vehicle
and anyone near the vehicle. They must be connected
appropriately to prevent damage to the vehicle and possi-
ble bodily injury. Failure to properly install these wires may
cause the vehicle to lunge if remote started while in gear.
