I decided to go with a add on remote start system in my 1998 Camaro instead of a full on alarm. But I am having some problems already, well kind of. The unit will just not power on.

This is what I tried to hook up just to test is out. Power wires to constant power, ground, then the hood latch switch a park neutral switch(both of which I just grounded).

I get nothing at all.

Any help at all would be greatly appreciated.

If the hoodpin wire is grounded, the unit thinks the hood is open, and therefore won't work.

Disconnect the hoodpin wire, or install the hoodswitch and close the hood.

I tried that, still does not power on at all.

This is what I have hooked up now to try to power it up. Both of the red power leads, straight to a 12 volt source. Black is grounded, BLACK/ white wire(neutral safety switch) is grounded. And I am using a 12 volt positive as the pulse source to turn it on.

Problem solved. It was a bad ground.
