Bear with me hear guys, but I have a duh question. The second ignition wire (white) will test 12 volts while the engine is cranking, yes? Just had a brain fart. Want to make sure I hook this up the right way.

Most of the time yes an ignition will show 12V during run and crank. However it is a Chevy so anything is possible, your best bet is going to be to test the wire with a meter. Hope this helps.

Second ignition will test one of two ways. It will test with the key switch in run position only, or will test just like main ignition. Like main ignition, it will never show power in the accessory position. If the second ignition shows power only in the run position then the accessory output of a remote start device may be used to power the wire.

The white second-ignition wire on that truck will actually show power in three key positions: Accessory, Run, and Start.

It will show power the very moment you start to turn the ignition key. It powers up BEFORE anything else.

Anyway, yes, make VERY sure that you power up this wire as Ignition 2-----it needs to see power in BOTH Run and Start. If not, the transmission could be damaged.
