96 s10 remote start

keep looking man.. im almost positive there should be a pink/white or white wire areound somewhere.. it might be a smaller gauge wire but that RED / white wire is NOT correct... im pretty sure thats a 2nd accesory that powers ur radio.. when u remote start does ur radio come on? if it does thats not the right wire!Driving a Bagged, Caddied 02 s10

you need to find a white wire in there...it might be thinner than the other wires, but it's there. that's the one you need to hit. that's why you get that funny shifting and *service engine soon* light. this is a common symptom of not having the 2nd ignition wire powered. your radio doesn't come on with remote start, does it (that would mean you have the 2nd acc (brown) hooked up and it doesn't need to be powered) disconnect that red w/ white wire and fine the propper white wire...i'm pretty sure the white wire for the brake also runs up there...it's a thin guage as well. but you need to test for the propper 2nd ignition wire that shows 12volts when the key is switched on.

if theres not a white wire or white with pink then how do i find the correct one with a volts meter??

ok i got it. i completly missed the white wire. it was hiding under all the rest of the crap. thanks guys for you help and for anyone else that has the problem check the wires they are there. just have to look. remind me not to wire my next car up at 3 am.

glad you found it.  was it a smaller gauge?  i couldnt' quite remember.
