the remote start unit. If the vehicle is being worked on, this hood switch prevents the
remote start activation even if the RF command to start is issued. This switch must be
installed in all applications. Failure to do so may result in personal injury or
property damage.
Mount the switch in the hood locations away from water drain paths. If necessary, a
bracket may be used to move the switch away from rain gutters or allow mounting to the
firewall behind the hood seal. In both cases the switch must be set up to allow the hood to
depress the switch at least 1/4 inch when the hood is closed and fully extended when the
hood is opened. For direct mounting, a 1/4 inch hole must be drilled. Carefully check
behind the chosen location to insure the drill will not penetrate any existing factory wiring or
fluid lines.
Drill a 1/4" hole in the desired location and thread the pin switch into it using a 7/16" nut
driver or deep well socket. If using the mounting bracket, first secure the bracket to the
desired location and secure the pin switch in the pre-threaded mounting bracket hole.
DO NOT PLUG THE SIX PIN MAIN POWER HARNESS OR THE MULTI PIN INPUT /
OUTPUT HARNESS INTO THE CONTROL MODULE UNTIL ALL CONNECTIONS TO THE
VEHICLE HAVE BEEN MADE. AFTER SELECTING YOUR TARGET WIRES AS DE-
FINED BELOW, DISCONNECT THE NEGATIVE BATTERY CABLE FROM THE VEHICLE
BATTERY PRIOR TO MAKING ANY CONNECTIONS.
Note: Do not remove the fuse holders from this wire harness.
Fuses must be used and located as close as possible to the power
source for adequate protection of the vehicle.
WIRING THE 6 PIN MAIN POWER HARNESS Connector “C”:
Fused RED w/ WHITE TRACE WIRE: + 12 volt Battery 1 Source 20A Max
Locate the vehicle battery wire(s) at the ignition switch. Verification: These wires will register
voltage in all positions of the ignition switch. Connect the Red w/White wire to the vehicle's battery
wire. This wire provides power for the control circuit as well as the ignition 1 and ignition 2 relays.
Fused RED WIRE: + 12 Volt Battery 2 Source 20A Max
Locate the vehicle battery wire(s) at the ignition switch. Verification: These wires will register
voltage in all positions of the ignition switch. Connect the Red wire to the vehicle's battery wire.
This wire provides power for the start relay and the accessory relay.
