I was installing a Clifford Matrix 3.3X on a 2000 Dodge Durango. The remote start activates but sends out a negative current to the ignition wire instead of a positive. Please help!

Have you wired the flex relay properly? RED / white to 12v+ constant etc.

I don't know what that is. I hooked up the ignition 1 and the starter input and output. The only wire that has constant 12volts is the main alarm power wire.

I'm just curious to find out how u figured the unit is sending a negative current?

Connect all heavy gauge reds to a good power source.

I can't understand the post! I think out poster needs to have the flex relay ref. the second ignition explained to him.

That's down to you Darren, since my excuse is we ain't seen them here yet. In fact I think he's feeding the pink white flex relay - output directly to ignition 2.

I tested the ignition wire with a cuircit tester and it's showing a negative signal. If it was sending a positive signal, the ignition on the car would turn on.
