oops...   I meant the hood pin switch left dangling.  I'll re-ground the negative safety switch wire.  should i install that switch on the nss line that came with the unit?  i dont know why i'd bother with it-- i dont care that much about this damn work truck!

It's not really necessary unless you want the ability to disable remote starting later on - the important thing is that the wire is grounded.C Renner's Auto Electronix

well, its alive.  re-grounded the nss away from the brain ground, and found a new brake wire.  all is well in my world. 

you are a gentleman and a scholar!  i would've torn my hair out without your help.i spend most of my days working on computers, so if you ever need anything in that department, dont hesitate to ask.

thanks again,

Not a problem...that's a screwy vehicle. I've had issues myself on late-model GM brake inputs (they aren't switched directly by the pedal anymore). And since you mentioned - do you know any way to make electrical diagrams with Photoshop or other software? I've used Visio lately but I kind of have a feeling Photoshop could make them much better.C Renner's Auto Electronix
