Another query... Can I temporarily use the alarm with the RS relay satellite unplugged?Shawn

That orange wire that sits on the 87a terminal has no place in a typical install (tape it off to keep it from touching anything). I think someone put it there to power something when the key was "on" but they wanted that something NOT powered when remotely started. I could see that. Like if you had a radar detector hard wired. Or used in DRL or twi-light sentinal hack. Or nitrous..... who knows. If you look closely at each of our relay banks......if you were to remove that orange from the 87a terminal, our relay banks would be the same except the two middle relays' physical position. But the wiring would be the same. yuk

It was a clever was to remove the wire from the circuit and eliminate false alarms when remote starting. Where did you get your relays from? Were they possibly made for another model RS?

In your pic, your 30's are on the top, and your 87's are on the bottom, correct?Shawn

I think my two middles relays are in the same physical position as your relays...Shawn

So, as it sits now, on the ACCY relay, for the wires on my car's IGN side: the orange (hot in run, power to AC and WDO), and the brown (hot in run or accy, power to wiper and radio) are connected when the relay is at rest. This is a mystery to us...but it doesn't really matter, correct? When the alarm does the RS, and the ACCY relay is energized: the orange (hot in run, power to AC and WDO), is connected to 12V, and the brown (hot in run or accy, power to wiper and radio), is open. Unless you guys see a reason why I should change it, I am going to leave it as is... Shawn

yes .. just like yours. actually my statement about swapping the two middles physical location was wrong. other than the 87a orange wire, they are the same.yuk

just make sure the 87a orange and other unused wires are taped off. and you are good to go. yuk

Sorry to be dense, but what would it matter if I left it as is?Shawn
