2000 maxima remote start

I have had some nissans start with only start wire #1 hooked up for testing, am I worng on this one or will it work on a maxima? Is the second start wire for cold start or am I off my rocker.

maybe im connecting the starter wires wrong......

im just splicing into them with crimp connectors, do i need to cut the wire and connect one end or something?

Just double-checking if you're able to start the car by just hotwiring it with the key in the ignition to make sure its starting? ... if not ...

1. Use a test wire with an in-line fuse going to a constant 12-volt source. (Preferably the same source that you'll be using for the install.)

2. Supply 12volts to both IGN wires. (Again, preferably from the same source you'll be using for the install.)

3. Put the key in the OFF position.

4. At this point in your troubleshooting, may as well touch both starter wires with your test wire and your car should start.  If it doesn't ... don't know what to tell ya buddy.

5. Remove the key.

6. Reconnect both starter wires to the RS and try to Start it with the remote.

If it doesn't start ... you may need to trouble shoot the bypass module, but first ...

7. Re-insert the key in the OFF position and try to start it with the remote.

If it doesn't start ... test the starter wire from the RS module with a DMM and also check your +12v and ground connections for the module. If your +12v and ground is good, something may be wrong with the RS module ... or maybe the remote (i'm not familiar with that model).

If it does start ... troubleshoot the Bypass module ... might be faulty. Hopefully it works before this step. Don't forget the relays for final install.
