Topic: Extra Ignition Wire?

Subject: Extra Ignition Wire?
Date Posted: April 09, 2004 at 2:38 AM

I'am in the process of installing a remote start on a 93 ford probe gt 5sp. My question is well I was hooking up the remote start part I saw that there is 2 ignition wires on the brain. So far I have the Accessory,Starter,12volts
and Ignition hooked up. That leaves me with an extra Ignition wire coming from the brain of the alarm. So does any one know where this wire should go or do I just leave it off.

Also I ran one of the 12v+ to the 12v+ from the Ignition harness. Will this be a problem

sometimes if your car has a key security system, like when gm's have a resistor pellet in the key, you need to rig up a bypass module that electronically "looks like the key" to the car and allows it to start. these bypass modules are active and thus need to be powered somehow, but only when you are trying to start the car from the remote, so the 2nd ignition wire is sometimes used to switch on and off the bypass module. if you don't have an application like this, all i can say is... give it a try, if the car won't start properly, find out what system needs to be powered. otherwise just cap off the 2nd ignition wire so you don't short it on anything metal because you don't need it... some alarms allow you to use the 2nd ignition wire as an auxillary output so check your programming table.

This is the alarm I have https://www.asianwolf.com/FM2009V2.html I also have the glass shock sensor and window roll up. Where do I connect these add-ons to the alarm brain? Thanks Im totally new to this so any help is great.

most alarm systems that come with a second ignition only has to have it hooked up if your car has a 2nd ignition wire. According to tech soft a 93 probe does not have a second ignition wire so it wouldnt be used.

Also in that Diag there are 2 12+volt inputs on the alarm brain and they only supplied me with one red wire and from the looks of the picture it should be a 1 red wire that split into 2 red wires for the 2 12+volt input on the alarm brain. Should I leave one off or splice a wire into that red wire

if you have 2 red wires coming from the brain and going to a single 12v wire in the car, then you can splice the 2 red wires into that single wire. If you end up leaving one of the 2 unhooked then the remote start relay's wont work correctly.

the window roll up should be connected to the starter kill relay, the one that is grounded when the system is armed.  there should also be an accessory wire which will be attached to the second or third channel wire from the alarm.  what type of window module do you have?

the shock sensor should just plug in.

There are 3 red wires for this Alarm/Remote Start. 2 12+ volt inputs on the remote start portion, and 1 12+volt input on the Alarm portion. I just hooked up this alarm in my van, so if you have any specific questions about this system, maybe I could be of some help.

you do not have to hook up the starter kill relay, just attach the ground when armed wire from the alarm module to the ground when armed wire on the window module. usually both these wires are orange but the relay is not neccessary.

the starter kill relay is not neccessary as mladams said.........BUT.....it is very highly recomended. not only does it prevent the car from being started when the alarm is armed.....on a remote start alarm it acts as an anti-grind circuit and keeps you from grinding your starter if you turn the key to far after a remote start.

if its jammed force it - if it breaks in the process it needed to be fixed anyway
