Go to this siteand select vehicle wiring diagrams and then Chevrolet then 2004-2006 Malibu. I use this site quite a bit just to verify what my two other diagram programs are telling me. I'd give you a page from one of them, but they won't let me copy and paste anything.

I didn't hook up the ignition delay timer. Not sure what good it would do, you are only delaying the power going to the ignition wire by however long it takes the coil on the relay to energize.

Yes, connect it to the out when running wire. Not really sure why you need to do it, but if I had to guess, I would say that it is to mimic what the vehicle's system does while it is being started.

Well i "tried" my install today, no luck. Hooked everything up and tried to program the cansl2 and when I would turn the key over, the red light would never blink, just stay red. I tried a few times and nothing. Tried to remote start and the car would start up a few times and die, guess cause the module not working. But 90 % of the time, it would not even engage the starter. Does this all have to do with the cansl2, do I have a bad module? It's version 1.6. I have checked all my connections, all looks good. Accessory drop relay is doing its job and the relay that goes on the RED / white wire for whatever reason is doing what its supposed to. Please let me know if anyone has any ideas. Hoping its just my module. The car is an 05

You need firmware version 12.0 or higher for it to work. If you bought it from a local shop, you could take it back to them and ask them to flash it for you. It was amazing how well everything worked after I got the correct firmware for the CANSL2 I used on the 04 Malibu I did...well that and getting the door lock switch fixed.

Put in a XK06 and my problems are fixed!!
