Car: 1993 Honda Prelude

Is it normal for the A/C not to come on while remote start is running. I have the accessory wire of the Hornet 554T (orange) hooked up to the BLACK/ white accessory wire of my car. During remote start, the car idles fine and the radio comes on, but not the air conditioner. Is there something extra I need?

Are you turning the A/C on before you leave the car?  If so then you probably have an additional accessory wire you need to power.

I'm thinking so, but I'm not sure which it is. If you look here: https://bulldogsecurity.com/New%20Wires/New%20Wires/Wires/prelude92-93.htm

There's a Ignition 2, which is yellow, I didn't use that one at all in my install. Could that be for the A/C? Also, if it is, could I just add a wire from the accessory wire of the alarm and tap that yellow wire?

run a relay powered from the ing 1 wire to power it.

A relay from Ignition 1 to power what? Ignition 2? Are you confirming Ignition 2 is my A/C power?

power up your wires like ign 2 if there is one. use second ign wire from the relay pack.

Or you can remove the accessory wire wich is powering the radio and who knows what else, and tap into the yellow 2 ign see if the ac turns on. After all why do you want your radio running during remote start, I do it if i have left over accessory wires from the remote start module if not I just wire what's important.

It's funny what unprofessional says but true: I got a customer one day claiming that the AC wasn't working during remote start. I knew I hooked it up fine so when he came to the shop I showed him it was working, and he says "well but do you have to leave the ac on before you get off the car??"

That IS funny, but I do leave the A/C. It doesn't turn on with remote start, but it will when I turn the key to "on". I'm pretty sure it's the 2nd Ignition now. I'm try it here in a little bit.

hook up the wire that you have running to the WHITE/ black and run it to the yellow wire in your ign. harness. no need for relays or to hook up the WHITE/ black wire. thats only for the radio and other electronics that you do not need when you are not actually in the car!

Caution there big guy before you give un knowagable advice.... You need the first and the second and if present the third but in this case you only need the two.  The ignition wires see the voltage when your turn on the key for a reason. The first ignition is to control the main computer functions in most newer cars and for sensors, the second not only is it for the ac but it handles your fuel management and other ignition controled components that need to see 12 Volts while cranking and run du to no ignition wire in the world from the factory is a 4 guage ir a 8 guage wire. That is why they are split up into two. As For ign1 ign2 and ign3 in newer vehicles,,,, That is just installers and mechanics refer each color to for ease of mind thought... As any wire technition and you will be suprised. Not trying to down anyone but Just wanting to pass on all of the knowledge I have consumed over the last 12 Years to help everyone. That is how I made this my career is from learning from others.

I guess I could update. It turns out that that Ignition 2 wire in the car (yellow) was for the A/C. I hooked up Ignition 2 of the car (yellow) to the Ignition 2 of the alarm (pink/white) and everything is good. Now during remote start, there's A/C and radio. This is fine with me, usually when I'm not in the car, the face to my deck is with me, so the radio wouldn't be on anyway.
