Saturn Ion 2004. I want to bypass the car security completely but there is a ground wire on the PLJX that is open when programming then grounded normally by the remote starter for actuating. I grounded it out and the car runs fine but when you shut it off part of the ignition stays on, so I used a relay to ground it out when the key is on. My question is should I have it on this way all the time or should I have it only come on momentarily until the car starts then go off? These cars are known for ignition security problems and the dealer just wants to keep changing the key assembly but they only last a year or so and then in the cold they won't start again. Good old Michigan weather.
You should be fine, it is not design to be hooked on that way but one of my customer did it on is Alero and he have no problems yet. He did it that way because he already needed to replace the ignition switch because the factory resistor burned so instead of risking to buy another oem switch, he used a PLJX and grounded the brown wire to ground, now...you've install a relay on the ignition wiring to supply your bypass ground in parallel with the ignition wire.....got ideal...you should be fine...
Cheers.
