Hood pin switch

put the hood pin where it's not going get hit if somone's doing work under the hood and also where it's going to catch your hood, if you have to make a "L" bracket with a hole to fit your hood pin switch and bolt it to the side of your fire wall, i've always been told one of the better place's to mount the pin switch for a remote starter is at the back of the engine bay. there nothing hard to install, just look for a deicent flat spot where you oculd mount a bracket or drill through to mount you pin, run your wire, and there ya go ( just make sure there's no wires or cables under the metal where you drill...drills and live wires don't mix )

If your car has a light under the hood it most likely is controlled by a mercury switch that given if you have the time and and know how you could interface the neg trigger with. When you install a hood pin trigger it tends to rust and stand out. What you would do is probe the 2 wires and determine which one is constant and which one is triggered by the movement of the hood. If it's negative attatch your alarm's neg trigger to that lead.
