installing trc zr-25 in '82 olds cutlass

sorry, to clarify: the relay block has a connection for the negative ignition output, and there is a connection on the main module for a +12 ignition input (assumed to be the pink wire on steering column). what is the significance then, of this negative connection, and how do i find it? sorry for not being clear, i thought i could edit my posts.

The Negative outputwould be used to drive an additional relay or 2 depending on wheter or not your particular vehicle requires more ignitions than the unit can provide. (you only have one ignition on this thing...you do not need this wire) As far as an ignition input.... connect it to ignition. Is this an alarm as well. Gus Wherever I go, that is where I end up......

it is not an alarm. should i connect the wire that wants the "+12 ignition input" to the same pink wire on the steering column that i connected the ignition relay to, then?

Yes Gus Wherever I go, that is where I end up......

thanks for all the help, i almost feel like i owe this website money. the module needs +12 in one place and the relay module needs it in two. the only sources of constant +12 i can find under the dash will drop to 8-10 volts when the starter is cranking. do any or all three of these inputs need power that doesnt drop? if so, where can i find it?

The 2 reds at the key harness drop that far under crank??? Wow Gus Wherever I go, that is where I end up......

yah that doesn't seem right

no, i couldn't get up there to test those two, i was testing at the fuse box. is that to say that i should be using the ones on the steering column, and that they shouldn't drop? on another note, what wire connectors should i be using? i've been using tap-ins but some guy was looking at me funny. is there a problem with them i don't know about?

when doing alarms or remote starts you should be using solder

shhh. well, what is the difference at this point? should i be ripping things out and reconnecting with solder, or will it work anyway?
