hi everyone im a new member here, and so far this is a very informative forum and im glad to be here.

     i recently purchased a zenesis 502as and a fortin int-sl. im reading through the instructions (over and over) and im unclear as to what wires of the alarm harness i wont use when i install the int-sl. the instuctions are unclear as to where i can locate the wires ill need to splice into. any diagrams specific to my installation wouls greatly help. im installing it on a 07 silverado classic. thank you.

I don't know what to make of the tone of your post. I could suggest going to the vehicle wiring section here and taking it from there but you still have to thoroughly understand what each wire on the Zenesis does.  Read the instructions again, strip your vehicle, find the parts or wiring on your vehicle the Zenesis relates to, test your wires to make sure they function as they should and solder your connections.  Or do you want your hand held. I charge $60 an hour.

By going to a specialist installer, contact Zenesis for one in your area. Do not attempt to install this yourself, that's the impression I get from your questions.

first of all, no local zenesis installers... i tried that before i signed on here.

second, i did not sign on here and ask for help only to be belittled and discouraged. im quite sure everyone, (including howie ll)  has needed help at one time or another. this will be my first installation and any CONSTRUCTIVE advice is appreciated.

third, if i dont at least try i will never learn anything, i was only asking for helpful information that might give me a headstart, and clearer understanding.

I wasn't coming down on you it was your seeming attitude of "oh I can't do this please hold my hand".  Look most of the standard and upwards members on this post come across this problem ALL the time with no one to turn to.  We read the alarm's instructions thoroughly, we look up crib sheets, we search, hell this was even a post about the locks on your vehicle this week. We find the parts (wires) the alarm instructions are referring to, we test with a DMM and we proceed.  The tone of your post suggested you were afraid to get down and dirty.

I'll give you a clue; the product is suppposedly very similar to Compustar, find a local Compustar dealer.

This is not similar to a Compustar system, just the fact the it's got alot of the same features and it works like a Compustar, the wiring is far from it as well as the programming. I've installed a few of these Zenesis systems as well as the Easycar systems and I still like the Compu's better. Regardless, the truck that your working on is very easy to do, just like Howie mentioned, you have to understand basic electronics before continuing foward on this installation. Even though it's easy to do ( IMO ) a basic installer will find this a tremendous hurdle if you have never touched an ignition wire prior to this truck.

Sorry I made a false assumption, the nearest I've come to either is to read the installation guides....which might be sad but that's why were proper installers.

im a certified harley tech in california with 12 years and counting of dealership experience. im not afraid to get in the mud, i can repair a motorcycles fuel injection issues but none of my harley skills applies to car alarms. im handy with a DMM and familiar with wiring scematics, soldering torch, and heat shrink. if i was doing the zenesis install alone i could follow the instructions... no worries. when i add the fortin int i get confused. i was hoping someone possessed a schematic of these two installed together, so i could see which wires are not used when the fortin is in place. i know some of the zenesis wires need connections even with the fortin. it gets a little more clear the more research i do.
