It is a full size truck. Can I make the connection at the coil? Where is the best place for the connection? SOmeone told me to just use tachless mode but not sure if that is the best thing.

As you know I have a remote start coming:

What do you think of this....

I am thinking of putting all the relays togther in one location. Like maybe mounted inside the driver's kick panel. (Are those relays mountable?) Running wire from the ignition harness (and whatever other harness needs acessed) {Soldered of course} to the fuse panel where I have room to mount inside the fuse door panel mountable fuse holders. (The fuse panel is against the driver's side door). This way the fuses are acessable just like the regular fuses.

From the fuse holder a wire will go to the relays, then of course from the relays to the accessary such as the power door locks. Is this a good mounting configuration?

Also, do you know what I will need in terms of connectors (are spade connectors what connects the wires to the relay?) wire, wire size, etc.

Thanks for your help!

Where is the best place to mount relays for a remote starter? Is the kick panel ok?

hood pins break too often, use a mercury switch if you can

I went to Radio Shack and the only ones I could find online were for a security system. (Magnet switches) Is that what you were talking about?
