Well, this is my first time, and I've spent all morning working on this alarm. Please help asap if you can, so I can finish this today.

First problem is the trunk pin. it says blue/green wire in 18 pin grey plug left of driver fuse box. I hooked this wire up, and it didn't work. Any ideas?

Second, I'm having trouble finding the tach wire for remote start. Direct wire says blue wire, tach test connector is a 2 pin connector near the air intake on the driver side shock tower. There's only 1 two pin connector I see, and the wire is blue/green, and very hard to access. Is this the correct wire? Is there somewhere else I can connect to? That's it for now.

Thanks!

You can usually find tach at the instrument cluster on Honda's, it will still be blue. Reads about 5 to 6 volts AC at idle and increases when you rev the engine.

In the engine bay the wire end in a connector that is not plugged into anything. The end has a rubber boot on it. Its usually taped to another harness with a piece of white tape or blue tape.

Did you test the trunk wire? Please tell me you are using a meter and not just hooking stuff up. What did you hook it up to on the alarm?

I do have a dmm, but so far, the wiring chart has been ok. What do I set the dmm to, and what am I looking f or? I'm hooking it up to the blue wire on the main harness. I found the tach wire in the engine bay. Thanks :).

Also, any idea how to take apart the steering column to install the bypass module? I took out whatever screws I could see, but it's still hanging on.
