Hello all,

I am installing a remote start/alarm system which has 1 accessory wire.  My vehicle has three.  How would I wire a relay to have all three accesory wire powered for remote operation?

Thanks

You may not need all 3 wires, if you find you do need all 3 the following will help you.
3 relays, terminal 87 of first relay to acc 1, 87 of second to acc 2, 87 of third relay to acc 3. The rest of this info pertains to all 3 of the relays. Ground terminal 85 of all 3 relays. Acc output from your alarm to 86 of each relay. Constant 12 volts to 30 on each relay.

Use Diodes  Tie inputs together and outputs to each one you want to trigger

input 1 -----I>I----- output 1

input 2 -----I>I----- output 2

input 3 -----I>I----- output 3

Actually, heres my dilemna.  I  am installing a RS (autopage RS-1000) in my 2006 Escalade EXT.  All the wire diagrams say there are 2 Ignition wires, 1 constant and 2 Accessory.  I have probed  all the wires and found 1 pink ignition 2 constant (1 red and 1 RED / white) and three accesory. (brown, orange and 1 whitish almost yellow).  I had a RS installed before and my check engine light would come before and the only wire I was not powering up was this third accesory wire which is actually right beside the other two accessory wires.

I would lose power if I drove the vehicle unless I shutdown by remote and then started with the key.  Thanks for the setup above as this took care of that.

Thanks

are you saying to put a diode across each trigger from the RS to Relay, I hooked it all up before I saw your reply but can make changes if need be because I still have everthing open.  I am just programming features now and trying to figure out how to diode isolate the four door triggers.

Thanks

He was giving you an option without using the relays.  If you were to do it without the relays you should use diodes larger than 1 amp diodes.  If you used the relays and are having no problems with the setup, leave it as it is.

ok, i thought it was unsafe to do so without relays.  I have a lot of both at the house but prefer the relay method.

Thanks for all your help.  It works and I love this Autopage RS-1000 compared to my CodeAlarm CA670.
