No... do NOT use connectors. Those especially will eventually vibrate and cut right through the wires and then you will be in a world of hurt. Strip back the factory wire (about 1/4" - 1/2" depending on size of the wire), poke a hole through the center of the stripped wire, strip back about 1/2" of the wire to be connected, insert it through the hole of the factory wire, twist the wire tightly, solder, then tape with a HIGH quality tape (3M Super 33 or better). If the roll of tape doesn't cost around $2.50 - $3.00 per roll then its no good. The only connector you should use in the entire installation is a ring terminal on the ground. Then use a factory bolt to ground it. Don't use a screw b/c a screw will eventually vibrate loose. If you ground it somewhere on the metal dash support, make sure that the dash support is either welded to the vehicle at the sides or directly bolted. Some vehicles will have a small rubber mount where the dash support is attached at the sides to help cut down on vibration. If that is the case, the dash support is not a solid ground and cannot be used.Kenny

Ok, I removed the quick connectors I placed on 5 of the wires and soldered them like you described. I also got the diodes and the relay and got it prepped and ready. I think I am all set to get this installed in the vehicle. Do you have a recommendation on were I should put the LED?

i usually put them at the top of the steering shroud. highly visible when flashing.Ted

Yup. Top of the steering shroud works great. Or somewhere on the top of the dash.Kenny

ok. I took the kick panel and stuff off exposing the wiring under the dash and began probing last night. I found the wiring for the headlamps and BROWN / white wire and stuff, but the BLACK / YELLOW wire is a small guage wire I have to cut and the wire from the relay to connect is heavy guage. lol. gonna take some playing with and they wrapped it around another harness making it short. I also found the ignition wiring (easy to get to). Got the break wire at break panel but the wire I am having a hard time finding is the WHITE/ green for door locks. Cant find that sucker. Also have been trying to find an opening for the firewall and were it is.

The difference in wire size won't affect the connection too much. You just have to be careful and make sure you get a good solder joint between the 2. What's nice is that since you have to cut that wire, you can usually unwrap it / untangle it from the harness to free up a little space. Its a different story for wires that you don't have to cut.. haha. The door lock wire can be tough to find. It should be in the far left plug of the BCM / fuse box.Kenny

Here is the picture of the connector it is at the bottom of the the BCM. Its hard to unplug. While Unplugging, You kinda have to push in on the black rubber stuff on the floor.When you get it unplugged, you can pop off the black top and make your connection. There are 3 WHITE/ green. You can actually use 2 of the 3 wires. 1 tests off the drivers door key cylinder the other tests off the passenger door key cylinder. The one you do NOT want is located on the edge, kinda in a corner. The 2 you do want are more centered on the plug next to each other.

OK. Finally. I spent 4 hours on this last night soldering and hiding wires and got this done. However. Everything works but I can't get remote start to even act like it is going to try to start. The manual is poorly written in my opinion. Does anyone know why remote start on the ICBM 7071 system doesn't seem to be working or what I can check? Thank you again everyone for your help. I don't know how I would have done it if it wasn't for the12volt.com and all of you guys and your support.

I figured it out. It was the hood pin switch. It was making the alarm go off too.

Just wanted to post a quick update on this. I am very pleased with this alarm so far. Been working great. Only issue I have had was the hood pin switch and I may have to either get a different kind of hood pin switch or something cause this one has been spotty were I have it mounted and there isn't a lot of places on this van to mount it. Thank you guys a lot for all the help on it. My wife (tha boss) has been very pleased with the remote start and alarm and the range for the keyless entry and the 2way communications on both the keyless remotes.
