Which wire is ground while running? The optional bypass or accessory wire or FASD outputwire, its not the wire thats allready grounded right?

Sorry, I missed that question. Sorry again because I have no idea which of the devices will contain said wire. It should be on the Remote/Start unit. It is usually used to trigger a relay to power the parking lights. When the truck is remote started, do the parking lights come on? If so, how are they connected to the remote start unit? If your unit has no ground out when armed, but it turns the parking lights on via a positive output, with the use of a diode and an extra relay, we can still make this happen.

Yes the remote start turns the lights on. The unit has a switch to put out positive or negative. I think the yellow with black stripe wire is the wire I need to use though and not the parking lights. This wire states in the manual: Security Bypass Output/ Ignition #3output(-) 200Ma (yellow with black stripe) This yellow with black stripe wire will be used to operate a external security bypass module/ accessorie when required. The yellow with black stripe wire will hold a ground output the entire time the remote starter is activated. Is this the wire? I believe it is am I right or do I still use the parking light output?

Today I was checking the T-harness and I believe it is wired wrong on the bull dogs site it states to connect the gray / YELLOW wire as accessorie wire 1on this site, gray / YELLOW is second ignition. On their site (bulldogs) the RED / black is ignition #2 on here accessory 1. They have the RED / black and the gray / YELLOW wires mixed up. Their T harness must be wired the same way. By looking at the T-harness they also wired The Accessorie and second ingnition wrong. Plus when the wire they spliced into for the second accessorie wire was not. I smelled plastic melting the other day when driving. What if this caused damage to my truck? What can I do? If I looked for the damage where would it be?

The T harness or the wire you got power from are the only 2 places that I can think would be having a problem. Where did you get power for the remote start unit?

The power is included in the T-harness one end plugs into the factory vehicle harness and colum the other end has plugs for the rs. Can I make them liable seeing it was a harness made from them? So I wouldn't have to cut ignition wires.

At each end of the T harness is the only place that I could see having a melting problem. Disconnect both ends of it to make sure the melting is not there.

Already have that out no melting in that. I think maybe it is the starter itself for seeing 12volts on a wire that was not supposed to see any voltage, or the wire the accessorie wire from the starter was spliced into for seeing voltage that it was not intended to see. I will have to check the wire to see weither it is positive or negative and what it powers. If I cant get a wiring diagram on line what is the best manual for my vehicle for wiring diagrams? Wish I could get for free off the internet I dont see paying what I can pay to get a entire service manual for just the diagram I need.

I've been calling bulldog or Access to comunications which ever its called everyday since early wensday befor Thanks giving. I keep getting a message that they will call me or get back to me with in 24 hours. It is 1 week and 12 hours so far and nothing. I think they know they screwed up and this is them trying to avoid it. It a good thing I dont need my truck for work because its down right now.
