i started my installation of the 554t last night, leaving out the shock sensor, glass break sensor, and door locks for this weekend. when i finished the install of the alarm/remote start part, the alarm armed and disarmed just fine, but when i tried to start it, the 30A fuse going to the sattellite relay bank popped. Any ideas on why this would have happened? what should i check first?

i didn't do the starter kill relay yet, because there were no instructions in the manual for it, and i was wondering if this could have caused a problem.

should i be wiring up a normally closed starter kill or a normally open? Or is the prewired one set how it's supposed to be?

by the way this is on a 99 dodge ram

Did you check the wires prior to connecting to them? I didn't have any problem with the remote start portion. The wires were there as advertised on this site. Most of the wires you connect to for the ignition are larger wires. It sounds like you hit a ground with one of your relay bank outputs. Try using the DMM to check your connections.

I noticed they left out the instructions for the starter kill relay. Take a look at the diagram on the page after the H1 harness listing, page 8. They show the diagram for another purpose, but it tells you which colored wire goes where. ( Cut starter wire, key side to green, starter side to black. yellow(on relay) to Ignition1. Yes the starter kill and remote start Ignition1 relays are both connected to the Ignition1 wire. Orange on the relay is prewired to the brain.)

I only cut 3 wires for the install. The starter wire, and 2 wires for the door locks

Thanks for the reply. Do I need to diode isolate like the diagram shows, or is there a diode built into the relay?

The diode is not needed. It is show for reference if you want to use the orange armed output signal for other uses. i.e. isolation diod
