I'm installing a remote start ona 1999 Pontiac Sunfire GT and was wondering where I might be able to find the "dome light wire" which will show +12v when the door is open.

These "kick panels", are they literally panels? like the "end caps" on the dash? or are they the trim piece that runs along the floor of the door frame to the dash?

I also have 2 quick things to verify...

1) I was looking for my "parking lights wire" (shows +12v when parking lights are on) The wiring diagram said it was brown and near the light switch... there are about four wires at the light switch, one is in fact brown, but none of them show anything more then a volt or two when the lights are turned on or off. Near the pedals on the firewall theres a large harness, I tested all the brown wires until I found one that shows +10.44v when the lights are on and 0.00v when they are off. It is a larger gauged wire, similiar in size to a starter wire or ignition wire. Does this sound like the "parking lights wire"?

2) I went under the hood to find my tach wire, the wiring diagram claims its violet/white and can be found in "Pin 8 of Blue PCM Connector Passenger's Kick Panel " I don't know where the "kick panels" are and I could't see any violet/white wires around the passengers side, so I went further down the line to what I believe to be the coil. I was told by someone in a different topic that the tach wire would be white off the coil, but I seen a violet/white one and routed a new wire through the firewall from it. My question is, obviously, is this the right wire?? or is it the white one? Is there a way to test? please respond, with this information I can finally be done with this headache.

Your domelight is a (-) trigger through your door triggers. The GREEN/ black is located in the lower drivers kick panel.  It catches the drivers door only.  The light blue is located in the lower passenger kick panel, and catches the passenger door(s).  Tap both wires and diode isolate each. The " kickpanels" are the plastic pieces that cover the area by your foot ( just below the fuse box and on the passenger side it is just below the glove box ).

1. If the BROWN wire that you tested has voltage when you turn on the lights and 0 when you turn them off, then yes, this is your wire. To test, take a 12 volt jumper wire from a constant source and probe this wire that you have. It will turn on the parking lights and off when you release.

2. You can find it in the engine harness which is found next to the battery, below the radiator hose, just above the transaxle. It will be a larger loom of wires that you are looking for.
