2005 Saturn Vue Alarm/Remote Start

Hi I have very some very basic questions, I'm installing an Ultrastart 4296M with IDatalink ADSALCA ADS-AL-CA in a Saturn Vue 2005. First question, from the bypass module to the remote starter module I have 2 connectors that can be used for the Data, one has a red connector and one has a black connector, what I can figure from the diagram I have is that the black connector is used for 2-way remote starters and red is used for 1-way. is this correct? Also from the diagram it shows Lock/Arm (-) input and Unlock/Disarm (-) Input, which goes to the Unlock output (-) and lock (-) output of the remote starter, my question is which wires on the remote starter should this connect to, is it the Output for factory alarm re-arm and Output for factory alarm dis-arm or? next question, on the remote starter there's a Positive door pin input wire and a negative door pin input. From what I understand only one of these has to be connected depending on what type of door lock you have, from what I can tell mine has positive door trigger. Correct? My biggest confusion is in making the connections for the doors. I can find the wires in the car no problem but I don't know where they should be connected on the remote starter if someone can guide me using the same terms that are used in the installation manual that would go a long way. Thank you very much here is the wiring diagram for the remote starter Connection     Color OUTPUT TO ACTIVATE START CIRCUIT      Yellow OUTPUT TO ACTIVATE ACCESSORY/ HEATER CIRCUIT     Green 30A HIGH CURRENT 12VOLT INPUT      Red 30A HIGH CURRENT 12VOLT INPUT     Red SELECTABLE OUTPUT (DEFAULT SECOND IGNITION)     White OUTPUT TO ACTIVATE IGNITION CIRCUIT     Blue        (+) SIREN/ HORN OUTPUT (-)     Brown STARTER-KILL/ ANTI-GRIND OUTPUT     Orange JUMPER SELECTABLE PARK LIGHT OUTPUT (+ OR -)     White SYSTEM GROUND INPUT     Black        NEGATIVE OUTPUT FOR UNLOCK     Green 12+ OUTPUT FOR DOOR LOCK MODULE       NEGATIVE OUTPUT FOR UNLOCK     Blue        OUTPUT FOR FACTORYALARM RE-ARM     Yellow OUTPUT FOR FACTORYALARM DIS-ARM     Brown NEGATIVE STARTER OUTPUT     Gray OUTPUT FOR TRUNK RELEASE ACTIVATION     RED / Wht NEGATIVE ACCESSORYOUTPUT/ AUXILIARYOUTPUT 2     Org/Wht AUXILIARYOUTPUT 1/ PROGRAMMABLE OUTPUT     Wht/Vio BRAKE SWITCH INPUT (+) WHEN BRAKE IS PRESSED     Pink PARK BRAKE INPUT.

Must be connected on manual transmission models. 9- GREEN/ WHT Hood Pin Input (-) - Connectthis wire to the supplied hood pin switch. If ground is detected on this input the remote starter will not activate. 10- BLUE/WHT Tach Wire Input (A/C) - This wire isused toto detect when the vehicle has started. The Tach source is typically taken from a fuel injector, coil, coil pack or crank position sensor. The Tach wire is generally found as the opposite from the common wire at the coil or fuel injector. 11- BLUE Wait to Start Input (+ or -) (Programmable) - The system will wait for the input to turn off then remote start. A start delay may also be programmed to avoid this connection. Programmable trigger to start/ 2 positive pulses. 12- PURPLE Positive Door Input (+) Alarm & Manual Transmission Only. - Connect this wire to the door pin switch if it changes to 12volts when the door is opened. *Connect to door pin for Passive Arming on non alarm models. 13- GREEN Negative Door Input (+)Alarm & Manual Transmission Only. - Connect this wire to the door pin switch if it changes to Negative when the door is opened. *Connect to door pin for Passive Arming on non alarm models

Even a partial answer would be appreciated. Anything to get me on the right track.

I am not sure exactly what you are asking. 

You are using an Ultra Start 4296M unit.  Does that mean that the Saturn Vue has a manual transmission?  If yes, you will need to bypass the clutch interlock switch during a remote start.

You are using an iDatalink ADS AL CA bypass module.  Has it been flashed with ADS-AL(DL)-GM4 firmware?

Follow the ADS install guide #10124 and the Type 2 diagram.  I believe you could go with the D2D harness and not make all the dashed line connections.  The bypass module will handle the locks, alarm ( if present ) and the Passlock2.  This diagram does not show all the necessary connections, only those involving the bypass module.

You will still need to make all the main ignition switch connections.  Rather than just post the U4296M wires, why don't you download all the available wire guide listings, compile/consolidate that info and make up a full chart with the U4296M to vehicle wire connections?  Then the forum members can review it and make suggestions.

Something like this would be fine.

thanks Kreg, I continued to do some research and I think I have everything figured out except for the clutch bypass, could you guide me for the clutch bypass. btw yes it's a manual transimission and the Idatalink has been flashed with ADS-AL(DL)-GM4 firmware. Thanks for the help..

I don't do many installs on manual transmission vehicles due to the liability issues.  I don't

have access to any sources that list this information on your 2005 Vue, either.

That being said, the typical vehicle clutch interlock switch is a normally open switch that goes

closed when the pedal is depressed.  There could be two actual interlock switches on the clutchpedal if you have cruise control.  One of the switches will actuate at the very top of the pedalstravel ( cruise control disengage ) and the other will actuate near the bottom of the pedal travel ( starter  interlock ).  You can disconnect the connector(s) to these switches and use a DigitalMulti Meter set on Ohms ( continuity ) to determine the operation.  Use a relay connected to the correct wires to make that connection during the remote start.  In your case, if you connect the bypass module to the U4296M via the D2D harness, you will have the WHITE/ Violet GWR wire from 3 Pin connector available to control the relay.  In the diagram below, the vehicle's Green and Orangewires are connected together by the interlock switch when the clutch pedal is fully depressed.You really don't care what the logic levels of the signal are or which wire is in and which is out.  The relay will make the connection, just as the interlock switch does, when it sees the GWR signal from the U4296M.  This will allow a remote start without the clutch pedal being depressed andwill not interfere with the interlock switch function at any other time.

I got further now, I'm able to put the car in reservation mode but when I try to remote start the engine turns over but shuts off right away, it tries 3 times but never stays running, any idea?

Did you connect the 4296M's Tach Input wire to the Saturn?  If yes, where?  Did the 4296M respond properly the first time you started the Vue with the key after you finished the 4296M install and plugged in it's fuses ( Auto Tach Learn ) ?Soldering is fun!

Yes, I connected the tach wire to the ignition coil once I saw it was not starting properly I connected my multimeter to see what voltage I was getting from the tach wire and I get .14 volts. When started the car with the key the first time after I plugged in the 4296M I got 2 chirps.

That .14 Volts sounds low.  Think I usually like to get at least a 1.0V AC Tach signal for the Ultra Start units. 

Did you set the DMM to the 20V AC range?  The Tach wire voltage reading should also increase a bit with some added RPM's.  Two beeps from the U4296M is the correct response during an Auto Tach Learn.   You might try a Factory Reset on the U4296M and then another Auto Tach Learn with the first key start.

Did the bypass module program as per the install guide?  Did you connect the 4296M to the bypass

module via the D2D harness or go W2W?
