I'm getting ready to install a RS in my 04 Colorado and have a PLXR. Where does the brown wire connect to?

this is what it says-

brown (-) to: ground out from remote start

connect after programing is complete

HUH?

This goes tot he wire that goes to ground when remote started. Most likely a status output/Ground when running/3rd ignition output. It has many names but just look for a wire that goes to ground only when remote started.

There should be a wire on the harness that is designated to output a (-) trigger during remote start. I'm not familiar with these systems, but look at the install manual and look in the wire descriptions & find a wire that has this characteristic.

That would be the Satellite Port:

Next to White 10 PIN Port

Blue - Red - Green 3 PIN Plug

BLUE wire for Negative Ignition Out

I put and RS in my colorado today and when I was done I went to a local shop and the guy there tried telling me that my ignition harness is going to fry! He said he has done many colorados and used a PLXR and all of the have fried within a month and he knows lots of other installers with the same problem. He said it's just a known fact that you don't put a RS in these vehicals. He said that the PLXR is unreliable and once it **** up it will fry the whole ign.harness.

Has anyone else encountered or heard of this? It's got me worried and might have to take out my RS.

I have dozens of colorado's out there with PLXR's.

none have ever had problems.

the first batch of plxr's would sometimes lock up, but a quick reset and they were on the way.
