starter kill problem

air ride    all you have to do is switch your starter wires.  you have them reversed.   the center post of the relay which is 87a is supposed to be connected to ignition side of the starter wire and the the bottom post 30 is supposed to go to the solenoid of the starter.   if you have any other questions please fell free to reply back

Just  an additional note:

This Vehicle Is Equipped With Two Start Wires. Both Must Be Powered In Order For Vehicle To Start When Engine Is Cold

Why does turning the key in the ignition throw the switch in the relay? My understanding is that you want the output from the alarm to throw the switch, breaking the connection in the ignition wire. When you arm the alarm, the relay should click (break connection), and click again when you disarm it (makes connection). If the ignition wires are not hooked up across the coil in the relay, there should be no clicking when you turn the key. Make sure the ground when armed wire from the alarm goes to either 85 or 86 (coil), and 12V to the other.

Hope this helps you out.

My data show that you have 2 starter wires. BLACK / YELLOW & BLACK/ GREEN. Looking at you last post, it seems that you have your relay connected properly. DEI uses a 3 wire starter kill relay socket & it is normal for it to click when you turn the key. If you had the wires reversed, the relay would not click when you turn the key( the relay would not get its power from the ignition switch to energize the relay). Use a meter to verify that you have 2 starter wires. If so, connect an additional relay as follows:   https://www.the12volt.com/relays/page2.asp#sk1

Hope this helps.

Try this.

1) verify that you have the correct starter wire, cut it and try to start the vehicle, it should not start.

2) remove the relay from the relay socket and wire the relay as follows: https://www.the12volt.com/relays/page2.asp#sk1

- or, if you prefer it to work like your excalibur did connect pin #86 to +12v constant (use a fuse holder w/ a 5 or 10 amp fuse). The relay will energize when you arm the alarm.

* note** - the orange wire fom your relay socket is the ground output when armed and the yellow wire is +12v ignition.

Hope this helps.
