2005 Scion TC - Clifford RSX3.2 help

The only one of your questions I might be able to help with (maybe....maybe NOT ) your trunk pop.

Did you use a relay.....? They need a SOLID ground.  Check your output wire on the unit.....it might be toast. Does the trunk release work normally. If so.....use a realy

How do you have yopur relay wired on your starter wire,   AND, I would say yes to doing BOTH wires?

What happens when you remote start and turn the key to RUN.....? does it run, if so I'd say that your anti-grind works perfectly..........by stopping the motor......it didn't grind, Rite

Did ya get your trunk pop figured out?

The vehicle operates like a nissan. One starter wire and one cold start wire! Yes both wires need to be connectect as the starter wire.

As for the trunk pop I have to agree with KTM, I think that you blew the output on the brain. Mabey this could be the cause of the starter issues? to much current through the wire may have cooked someother components. You may have to use an AUX channel connected to a relay for the trunk pop.

When it come to running wires through the firewall it is always in good practice to use an existing factory grommet, if you must drill a hole, use common sense on location. Look for a good location where you wont be drilling through your brake system ect... You should only drill a hole sufficent in size to run the ammount of wires to go into the engine compartment. Use a rubber grommet in the previously drilled hole instead.

ok.  i got the wires run through the firewall.  a buddy helped me and noticed a grommet on the far driver's side of the firewall behind the wheel well.  difficult to see but he had a sharp eye.

trunk pop works intermittenly and i do no know why.  i installed the relay and it's pulling 126mA from the AUX output which is within range.  the relays clicks everytime i activate the AUX button.  problem is... the trunk only unlocked the first time and ceased to do so aftewards.  i measured the current when to the trunk release wire and it was only pulling 6mA.  anyone have an idea what is wrong?

with regards to the starter wire issue.... i did some research and i read on this forum that the 2nd starter wire is a cold start wire that provides additional voltage to the coil in cold start conditions.  And.... the reason this wire is not in use all the time is because it can prematurely burn out the coil if it is activated every time.  how can i leave this "feature" in tact where the 2nd starter wire supplements the 1st starter wire only when it is needed.

currently, i have the 2nd starter wire hooked up to a relay which is activated by the 1st starter wire.  i did not use the 2nd starter wire relay output wire that is located on the alarm.  does anyone know how the 2nd starter relay output wire works like a cold start starter wire?

basically, i don't want to damage the starter coil as someone in this forum said it might happen.  please advise.

jaurora - are you saying i should just tie the 1st and 2nd starter wires together?
