NO Problem here..No offense taken ..... I just like to know and learn........
The '05 Ram I did last night with a Crimestopper EZ-90, I experimented with- there is one little ignition wire (pink/white) that needs to be hot when R/S- If I use this wire to (+) feed my relay coil (which will in turn feed my 2nd ignition) then immediately when I touch the (-) side of the added relay coil wire to the "(-) out while running" from my R/S (which is ALSO connected to the (-) in of the scytek CHDL-PK bypass), the pink/white wire (of the truck) pulls in a relay elswhere in the system and the mileage indicator comes on, as well as continuous chimes. This I believe is a RAP controlled device- because I have noticed it stays on when the key is out and shuts off when you shut the door- when the R/S is not being used.
The fact that this ignition wire is small guage indicates to me it pulls very little current and is used to energize a relay elswhere in the system. The funny thing is that my added relay does NOT energize, yet the current must be going through it to energize the vehicle's pink/white wire relay.
Now I got away from the problem by merely wiring my relay coil (+) to another ignition hot- I could have used a battery hot for both relay coil and "source to switch from (pin 30)"- but I prefer not to for fear of a relay sometime sticking and running down the battery- but perhaps I would be better to wire into battery hots.
I know now that I will avoid using little guage wires as a relay coil (+) source- for what I described above.
The '05 Aztek I mentioned has ALL ignition wires as little gauge- and I can hear relays engaging down in the consol-when key is turned on- so how do I add an addtional relay here- I suppose the best way is to diode isolate the (-) coil of additional relay from the GM-U7 I used, since they are both wired to the (-) "out whiile running" of the R/S- or perhaps I should feed both the (+) side of the additional relay AND the (pin 30) to a battery hot to avoid energizing a vehicle relay and running the battery down. The reason to add an additional relay on the Aztek is because I get a pesky "service vehicle soon" message in the info center only while R/S is active- and I prefer my installs to NOT create questions from the owner- by not having any SES lites or anything else on. Makes for a much cleaner install I think-- even though it starts and runs fine while this message is on.
This Aztek also gave me a "parking lamp out" message when running without R/S when I wired my parking lite output as 12+ into the lite circuit- so I opted to give it the (-) input into the BCM plug which fixed that... There is only so much wire charts give you- they never tell you why to wire a certain way- and you can't decide if there is an easier way or a specific reason not to do it this way- ahead of time. Thanks for all your help- sorry for the long post....
