i have a hornet 554t and a 95 accord. there are a few things that give me a little prob. the first is that when the car is armed i can open the trunk without triggering the alarm. I don't know which wire i should hook up from the alarm to which wire on the car. I have a hunch the i use the RED / white wire from the primary wiring harness on the alarm. i don't see instructions in the install guide for hooking up the lone relay not connected the the other four, with only an orange wire going to the control unit. this relay drives the remote start, or starter kill, i'm not sure. i dont know what wires on this relay go where. I need to undo some programming i did when i first installed the alarm this past weekend. i thought i needed to program each button on the remote myself (i wasnt supposed to program any), and messed up the arm function (i can't arm it from the pager remote). suggestions?

The Red and White wire is for a Trunk release circuit. And for your car you need to buy a trunk release solenoid and a relay to do that feature. The 1995 Accord trunk pin trigger wire is a ORANGE WITH SILVER DOTS which is located on the right side of the steering column. It is a NEGATIVE trigger wire so just hook up the blue wire from the 554 Hornet primary H1 harness. For starter kill: pin 87a to starter side of vehicle. pin 30 to key side. orange wire goes to ground when armed. (orange wire on H1 harness) yellow wire goes to true ignition (ignition 1) Connect the purple wire of the relay pack to starter side of vehicle : the same connection point as pin 87a from starter kill. Hope this helps. ------------- If I have an idea, and you have an idea and we share ideas, then we each have two Ideas, together we have four.

2k2accordex is correct. The ORANGE / silver dots wire will show a ground when the trunk is open.....you simply connect the Hornet's blue trunk-trigger input here.
Also, his starter-kill information is correct, but the starter kill relay is pre-wired, right? It should only have three wires hanging off of it---- a thick black, a thick green, and a small yellow.
Yellow goes to ignition.
Take your Honda's starter wire, and cut it in half somewhere BEFORE the place you attached the purple starter wire from the remote start.
The black goes to one side of the wire you cut in half, and the green side goes to the other half....
It does not matter which way you connect those two wires. But I like to make all my installs the exact same way, so that future troubleshooting will be much easier.
Therefore, I decided that the green wire will go to the key side, because green=go. And the black wire goes to the engine side, because engines are dirty. If you do it this way and remember how/why you did it, any future repairs will be easier.

Thank you both very much for your posts. Very helpful. When you said before the purple wire, did you mean on the engine side or the key side?

The purple wire on the remote starter relay pack goes to starter side (engine side) of the vehicle. Just tie it in with the wire that goes to the starter engine side on the starter kill relay, and that's it. However If you connect the purple wire to the key side of the starter kill relay, the car won't remote start when the alarm is armed because PIN *87a cuts off from PIN 30 in the alarm armed state. Hope this helps. ------------- If I have an idea, and you have an idea and we share ideas, then we each have two Ideas, together we have four.
