I have everything wired up but the accessory 2 wire. This is what I have so far: Car alarm (Gray accessory wire) to vehicle accessory wire (Orange wire). Car alarm (Pink ignition wire) to vehicle ignition wire (Blue). Car alarm (Pink/White ignition or accessory 2 output) to vehicle ignition 2 wire (RED / White). My car alarm is the Crimestopper 2015FM Informer. I have a problem where the accessories do not work??? I have a second accessory wire (Green wire under the steering column) but I am out of wires from the car alarm. Can I use a relay and the Gray, Pink, or Pink/White wire from the car alarm and run wires to the accessory 2 wire (Green on vehicle) AND the Orange wire (accessory 1 wire) from the same relay? This is what I am thinking of doing. Relay: post 85: ground, post 86: Gray wire from alarm (accessory wire), post 87: +12v from battery, post 30: to the vehicle accessory wires (Green AND Orange), post 87a: not used. Is this going to work? Do I have the relay wired up correctly? Or should I use 2 separate relay's? Thanks for any help. It is greatly appreciated.
It ain't loud till it hurts...does it hurt?

use two relays as follows:
you can take your 2nd ign. wire go to pin 86 0f both relays.
87 of both to 12v fused.
85 of both to ground.
pin 30 of one relay to the 2nd ign. wire and pin 30 of the 2nd relay to the 3rd ign. wire.
Good Luck

Audionut, setting up one relay as you describe would be no different from just tying the Crimestopper's output directly to the Dodge's orange and green at the same time.
I tie the orange and green together on Rams and get away with it, but tying wires together is contrary to how the car was originally designed, and probably isn't a good idea.
If you use two relays with drassch's method, it will work perfectly, and your car's wiring will still work as originally intended.
Also, I'm not familiar with Crimestopper, but have you checked through whatever other outputs it has? Any good-quality remote starter will have a "ground while running" output, which is typically used to interface with factory antitheft systems. This output may be labelled "ignition 3," or "status," or something like that.
Anyway, if you have such an output, you now only need one relay. Leave alone all the connections you've already made. Then, use the "ground while running" output to drive one relay, and use the relay's output to power up the green heater wire:
85 and 87: 12 volts fused
86: "ground while running" output from remote start
30: green Dodge heater wire.

Sorry, you can NOT post a reply.
