You mean on my alarm harness or the fuse block? My brand did not have a built-in or included fuse holder for my parking lights. :( i have 2 more questions. My manual says i need a relay for the horn, so i do need a relay, right? Or is it not necessary? My alarm harness have 2 Starter Kill wires, both goes to the same wires i hook up my start kill relay to, is it necessary to use both starter kill wires? Or using 1 is fine. If it is necessary, can i connect both starter kill wires to 1 relay? I did not know i needed SO many relays for my car, i should have bought more.   :confused: Thanks.

your starter kill wire might be hooked up to an internal relay. if that is the case then you will need both wires. the relay will act as a drawbridge, when activated, it will keep the power from going to the starter.... what is the output of the horn wire???? most cars use a neg. wire on the inside and it changes to a pos. on the outside of the car. pass on the info and we will take it from there.Good Luck

never mind about the horn, i did not read it right, i donot need a relay cos my horn is negative. My manual says (optional relay required) The instructions are exactly the same as the 1st starter kill wire. Is there any way to test to see if it is necessary to hook this 2nd wire up?

if you are talking about the orangte wire and the ORANGE / white wire then you can not hook up both of these wires. I would suggest using the solid org. wire. the difference is that the org. gives out a neg pulse when the system is armed and the org/wht gives out the pulse when the unit is disarmed this translates to that down the road if something happens to the alarm (disfunctions) then you will not be able to start your carCruisin Security And Sounds

Thanks all of you, i hoped this thread will help others as much as it HELPED me. :) I am almost done with the alarm, everything works from alarm to doorlocks. But i have 2 more questions, i cannot remote start my vehicle, on my LCD pager, it states (inhibit), i assume it means starter inhibit active. All my doors, trunk, hood is closed. And the brake is not touched. The brain have learned the tach signal too. I check briefly that the wires are all hooked up correctly, but will check again tomm. Please help me narrow down the problem. and i cannot start the car with the key, nothing happens, but maybe because i hooked up the orange & ORANGE / white wire and CrusinS&S says not to hook both wires which i will check tomm or later. Thanks again, hope this is my last questions. Dan

how did you hook up both wires? You have to wire your relay differently for each org. wire. use the solid org. and splice into the org. off the Audiovox supplied relay, cut your starter wire from the car in half, put the starter side to black on the relay, put the key side on red AND WHITE/ black on the relay.

oh and draasch is wrong there is no fuse hooked up to your parking light flashers, you will need to use a seperate inline fuseCruisin Security And Sounds

Um, to confirm what you said, put RED & WHITE/ BLACK on the relay to the key side of the starter wire? My manual shows alittle diff, is shows RED to +12V IGN/CRANK, thats the only diff. Please advice because everything works except my Remote start! It shows on my LCD pager (inhibit), my tach was learned and everything looks ok. Thanks.

same thing its cleaner if you tie both RED / wht black together, when you try to switch the ign you give off a 12v+ on the key side of the starter wire so putting them together or seperate will do the same thing. GOOD LUck let us know what happensCruisin Security And Sounds
