remote starter

i just got done trying to install a remote starter on my wife's 2000 pontaic grand am and i'm have a problem when i hook up ground to chassis car wants to start without pushing any buttons im wondering if anyone has a solution. at the ingition switch there were 5 wires i hooked up a pink for constant power a blue for acc a yellow for start and 2 brown for ingition but im not sure since i dont have a wiring diagram im just going by what i remember when i hooked it up in her old car if anyone can tell me if im doing something wrong that would be great thanks

Red should be constant. There might be a RED / Black that is constant too. This should help you. Looks like you hooked up the wrong wire. (I know pink and red look close in color on GM vehicles) Pink is ignition 1. https://www.the12volt.com/installbay/alarmdetail/1868.html

Side note- You should not be guessing at the wires. Refer to a wiring sheet like above and always test with a meter no matter what. These wiring sheets are not always right.

Need to know what brand and model of remote starter you are using.  Your comment of   (but im not sure since i dont have a wiring diagram im just going by what i remember ) just sounds scarey.

Too add to the above comments, as a pro I wouldn't touch this without a diagramme. Do you hate your wife that much.
Any one working with me tried that trick they would be out of that door without their feet touching the ground.
Do you even have a meter or a 12volt stabilised bench power supply?

Your last chance would be to send a photo, with the looms plugged in and hope that someone recognises it. Shame I'm 3000+ miles away, I'd have it on the bench and get most of the wiring.
The next stage would be programming. Frankly I would suggest you bin it. What you are doing is so dangerous, it's bad practice if a pro you would be liable for all sorts of legal problems, hence out of the door if it was someone working for me, also and I note you've been asked this question twice now, do you have a DMM?

If you spent two years researching for info on this, I would have just left it alone and purchased a newer unit to install, instead of the headaches you are having.  But hey,...thats just me.

All you've shown us are a bunch of relays that can be set up any way you want! I've got some like that about 10years old!
The sheet of paper refers to an incomplete list for the car. What a complete waste of time. Yes we are smarter than you which is why we wouldn't bother.

well what would you like to see you dont have to be like that im just looking for some help sorry

No you are asking to be spoon fed.
for a third time.
If the vehicle already had a key less entry system, then your alarm is adequate.
If not you will need a pair of relay.
All of this info is available on this site just bloody look!

So you were too stupid to go to vehicle wiring and see that are were TWO ways to do this on your vehicle I know you aren't fitting KE, the vehicle has one method if you have a KE vehicle, another if you don't. Can't you even understand that or are you too lazy to look.

You should thank Howie for the sarcastic responses that made you look for your answers in that case.

From what I observe he is quite patient with people that try to apply his suggestions or answer his questions when he's trying to support them.
