I have installed (mostly) a remote starter on my Honda Civic (1991 DX Hatchback)
Questions:
1. The schematic I have shows that the dome light (trigger wire) is green with red stripe and located
on the white connector at fuse box. I can't find it. I have looked everywhere. I have assumed it will
be 12v when the door is open. Is it a negative output? and can you direct me where I can find it?
2. I am looking for where the parking brake/emerg wire comes into the cluster. I need the one that
grounds when the brake is engaged. Any ideas on the location?
Please confirm:
3. The manual clutch bypass is the blue wire right? (other option is black) and the -0.00 v (pulse)
when running seems to be coming from the blue wire... please confirm.
4. The tach wire is the blue wire located on the distributor?
Thanks for your help

Thanks for the wiring chart. I have one however, and yours confirms mine. | DOOR TRIGGER|GREEN/ red |- |low in drivers kick | | DOME SUPERVISION|use door trigger | | | | TACHOMETER|blue | |distributor | The information most interesting is this. However, where in the "drivers kick" You have answered Question 4, so thank you for that. Anyone else have 1,2,3?

I see. I have searched this forum before asking the questions, and the only thing I found
was you are not too keen on installing RS units on manual transmissions.
The technology has changed, and there are now units that "see" you get out of your car.
In that the RS shuts down your vehicle AFTER you get out, it had to be in neutral with the
parking brake engaged.
I cannot find ANY reference to the information I requested. If I am SOL on getting help in this forum,
please just tell me, and I will stop looking for it.
Thanks

Well I got it done without your help anyway. Would have been quicker if someone told me where to look, I guess all I lost was time. Anyway, thanks to JellyNutz for trying.

Hello all. Initially, as you can prob see, I was a little miffed about the school of thought not up
to speed with technology, and no help offered. I was simply going to stay away, but decided
that perhaps those reading in this forum would be interested to know how some of the wires were
found.
In the Honda, the Coil and Distributor are integrated, so the wire coming out of the distributor
is in fact the TACH WIRE. As for the Parking Brake wire, which no wiring schematic shows,
(it is a requirement to attach for a manual model of RS). It is the same color as the door trigger,
and it is at the brake (obviously). It makes an unscheduled 90 degree turn, and proceeds under
the driver's seat and comes out under the "running board", then up to the front of the car.
It parallels the door trigger wire. Because, the door trigger wire harness that is in the kick area
is covered in some kind of plastic Kryptonite.
They can both be accessed by undoing the hood release case, and popping the runing board clips
with a standard screwdriver.
The CLUTCH BYPASS is in a wiring harness that comes off the clutch switch, and joins a larger one
heading to the front of the vehicle. The 2 options are Black, and Blue with a Black stripe.
Blue/Black is the correct one.
My MANUAL vehicle runs great with my new RS unit, and there is no danger of starting it with the
vehicle in gear due to technology improvements.
For those who did try to help, thanks. For those who are thinking of installing this or any other
SPECIFICALLY DESIGNED FOR MANUAL TRANSMISSION model of RS, good luck, I hope this
helps.
