08 tsx, viper 5901

I do, but I don't think it's the relay that's not working right since it works fine for remote start. I just don't know where else to troubleshoot. Maybe in the settings?

Ok. I see what you mean. It sounds like there is only one relay doing anything when I press disarm. How would I hook up an external one?

I did some tinkering and found out that I can start it with the key if I only push in the left side of the H3 plug, but when I plug in the whole plug, it won't start with the key

Can I just solder a wire in the brain and just bypass the starter kill? I don't really care about that feature. I'm not worried about someone stealing my car, at least not by starting it.

You mentioned the starter doesn't disengage? And you also have trouble with the starter kill? Have you double checked the connections for starter and ignition?

Yes I did check it. I went by http://tl.acurazine.com/forums/showthread.php?t=706816 since the install was very similar. The starter wire on the TSX is BLACK/ white though unlike the TL. Another thing, on the wiring diagram https://www.the12volt.com/installbay/forum_posts.asp~TID~99069 it says that the parking light wire in the steering column is neg. I tested it and it shows 12v when off and 0 when on when I test using +12v. Is this right? Wouldn't it read 0 when off, then 12 when on?

For the parking light wire, how are you testing it?  Connect the DMM red lead to constant +12v and connect the black lead to the (-) Parking Light wire.  The DMM should be set to 20v DC ( unless it is auto-ranging ) and will show +12 volts when the parking lights are turned on.Soldering is fun!

It's the opposite I set it up just like that, but when the lights are off, it reads 12v and when lights are on, 0v.

Also, the starter kill just started working right out of the blue. IDK why it was acting up before, but at least I know how to start it if it messes up again.

The proper (-) parking light wire will read 12 volts (+) at rest and will go to ground when turned on. the reading on the voltage will vary from 12 volts down to 5 volts depending on the vehicles circuitry.Jeff
