Prostart 34-0613-2 Mazda Protege

Hey Everyone,

I'm finished installing the wires and all but I have had no luck at all with anything. I have tried flashing the hood pin, but no luck, after holding the pin down for 4 seconds the parking lights don't come on.

I have a couple questions/concerns.

1. when I pluged in the 12 wire harness (I only used one wire - white, for a ground as there are no accessories) I plugged it in upside down and sparks shot out!!! Is this thing poockd now?

2. The hood poon, in going through a hole a hole that has paint, should this be a bare metal contact? There was no info on how to install this

3. Is is OK to have two seperate grounds at the same point? I have two different grounds from diferent harnesses at the same screw..

I'm sure I have a good ground, because my test light works off of it fine

The car starts still the old fashion way, but the starter does not react at all.

Thanks in advance, any help is appreciated!

the white wire that you hooked up on the 12 pin harness is "grouded while running" and is used for a bypass if needed, as far as flashing the hood pin push it down for about one sec untill the park lights come on then release and push it again while the lights are on, the park lights will stay on for 20 secs if you are succesfful, do you have your park light wire{+} from the 6 pin harness hooked up or the parkilght wire on the 2 pin harness{-} hooked up. Make sure you have that done or you will never get it ot work.

Thanks for the quick reply Origin!

After reading you post you got me thinking.

The 5 PIN secondary harness requires + parking light

but... the 2 PIN harness requires -

I put them both to the same wire +, could this be my problem?

should I attached the 2 PIN wire to a negative or leave it unattached, cause the directions screwed me up when they said "There is a positive Parking Light Output Only one of these two different outputs needs to be connected"

Any help would be great, my wife is getting pissed that this is taking so long :)

Thanks

Right on thanks bro,

I just removed it, but still no luck.

I checked the fuses and it looks as though one is blown, it is a fuse for the main power.

My next question is, I'm not sure if I did the 2nd ignition correctly. I basically just attached the green wire from the 6 pin harness to the 2nd ignition.

I read about the 5th relay and it looked as though the plastic piece was already covering the required output. It also mentions something about connecting the 14AWG wire - Is this the above mentioned green wire or should I be attaching something to this output?

Should I be having any extra fuses or relays not supplied by the kit?

Thanks again, I'm a total nub with this stuff!

i dont quite understand what you mean the green wire is not allways used depends on the vehile you are installing into, the jumper pin on the module gets moved depending on when you want the green wire to power up.

Sorry  for the confusion, I'm a little confuse with this at this point.

The vehicle is a 2000 Mazda protege

I have used the green wire to attach to the secondary ignition, but now I realize that this green wire is suppose to be used for a relay. I was going to use the jumper (5th pin) and attach to the secondary ignition and avoid the green wire all together. From  what I have read though you should have a relay in between, how would the the wiring to the relay go though?

Thanks again for you help, it is much appreciated!

Thanks a lot for your help guys! I have wired up exactly as you guys have suggested and I get nothing at all from trying to flash the hood pin. I'm concerned I might have fried the unit when connection the 12 PIN harness upside down the first try.

I will try another brain and see if that solves my problem, my worry though that these are all sold out.

Thanks for you help and I'll keep you posted.
