4. Start your vehicle. The test light should light or the meter
should indicate voltage only while the engine is crank-
ing (not while it is stopped or running).
5. If the test fails, contact the Auto Security Helpline at 1-
800-598-2527 for assistance in finding the correct wire.
6. Turn off the engine. Then cut the wire you located in
Steps 2–4 at a point where there are several inches of
wire on each side of the cut.
Note: If you cut the correct wire, you will not be able to
start your vehicle until you complete installation.
7. Try to start your vehicle. The engine should not crank.
If it does crank, you cut an incorrect wire — use a wire
tap-in to restore the connection.
8. Snap a yellow tap-in’s grooved channel over the wire
going to the back of the ignition switch. Then push the
system’s red/black wire into the other channel.
9. Use pliers to squeeze the metal tap down through the
wires. Then snap the tap-in’s plastic cover closed.
10. Repeat Steps 8 and 9 for the wire going to the starter
solenoid (the other end of the cut wire) and the system’s
white wire.
11. Use the supplied large wire tie to resecure all loose
wires.
