chevy cobalt neutral safety

Yep. I am familiar with that. I've got a buddy of mine that always tells me where half the American car models come from. ex: GTO - Holden Monaro.

Oh, btw, as the remote start and everything along with it works now, I noticed a clicking sound about every 3 seconds or so until I placed the key in the ignition and tapped the brake. I imagine this is normal, but I wanted to confirm this. Nothing else happens other than a 'click, click' every couple of seconds inside the car around the area of the viper system. Thanks in advance.

I also just noticed that I evidently can't post directly links on this forum. Here is the video of the operation of the switch, in case anyone is dying to see it. lol http://tinyurl.com/nqnjxm

Any input with this one?

That would make sense. I noticed for the first time today that the parking lights flash (every couple of seconds) after I remote start. This never happened with my older remote start alarm system on my 97' ranger which made me curious. Everything appears to make sense now. It's so much fun getting back into all this stuff. I'm an electronic guru and it feels great to get back into the swing of things. Thanks for all the help. Next project will be powering the momentary button that circulates the AC upon remote start.

does your G35 have it? what other nissans have it?

Yes, my G35 has one, as well as the 350Z and the 300Z.  Past that I don't know for sure what all cars have them.  I know on the G and Z it is used to prevent "no load" revving.  I would guess that most newer Nissans (and at least most of the higher end older cars) have them.Kevin Pierson
