New found respect for Pro Installers

Its tricky and  definalty have burnt myself more times than I care to remeber, but I tell my customers I will solder all the conections and I am not about to go back on that just because it was inconvenient. When I solder the lock wires on mid 90's intrepids, I cant actually see the wires when I am doing it due to space restrictions, so its all by memory and feel. I burn myself almost every time. Some jobs will just always suck

Thanks for all the comments guys.   Thanks Cruisin! 

I did solder all my connections on both vehicles.   With all the resistors and diodes on the Dodge I thought that the Chevy would be easier but I was wrong.  It turns out that the tach signal was not working on the Equinox so I had to use voltage sense. The wire is a tach signal but it only read .3 volts at idle and up to 1.5 volts at high RPMs so the unit would not sense it.  Also, you can't use the starter kill relay hooked up to the wire wire that DEI says, unless you want to Disarm first before you remote start and then Rearm after it starts. 

I don't think it will help any of you guys but I did donate $20.  Thanks again for all the help

If you connect your starter wire comming off of the remote start output to the starter side (going away from the key cylinder) along with the starter kill relay your starter will still see 12 volts even though the wire is open to your key cylinder.  Its kind of like having a starter kill / anti-grind that only closes the starter wire when the doors are unlocked through the remote start and the car is not running under the remote starts power.

write back if you need more help
