hood pin, factory security

Ok, this might be a funny question, but i baught a haynes repair manual and there is nothing about the security system. I want to find the wire for the factory hood pin, becuase i'm installing my remote start system and i don't want to install another hood pin. Haynes should put it in there, considering, what if the security moudle went. Ok anyways, it says that when i wire up the factory security system to my RM/KE (remote start/keyless entry system) when i hit the lock button on my remote it will activate the security system, but i don't understand beucase the would be the same as me hittin the lock button if i was inside, would it not? And, what color and where is the facotry hood poin wire so i can solder my required wire to it? THanks Oh yes, 1991 Jeep Cherokee Limted 4.0L HO

Go directly to the hood pin, if there is one, it should be a pin switch with a rubber boot that will press down when the hood is closed. You can also try looking in the passenger's kickpanel for a BROWN / tan wire.Certified Security Specialist

Always check info with a digital multimeter.

I promise to be good.

Tell Darwin I sent you.

I've been sick lately, sorry I won't be on much.

yah i do have a factory hood pin, it's for my factory security but you didn't answer my other questions in the forum, please help. And would the wire be BROWN / tan?

when you hit the lock button on th rske it sends whatever signal is needed to arm your factory alarm when you remote start this it disarms your oem alarm and allows for the starting of your jeep... I think that answers your question... BTW test your factory hood pin to make sure it is a ground closure... good luck -Hymer

yah but hooking of the activation, please re-read the beginning. Thanks
