How do I set up relays to prevent the starter from grinding when there are 2 starter wires? I want to keep the two wires independent from each other, meaning I dont want to just put a jumper across them. I understand how to install a single anti-grind relay, but when I do this twice to each wire, I have the problem of only one starter output form the Unit. I could use a 3rd relay that is triggered by the starter wire and then gives the second starter wire juice, but I was curious if that is the only way to do it. Will there be a delayt that will cause any problems or is that the best I can do.

I have wired in the past to just one starter wire. However, the downside to this is that when you RS and put the key to "crank" it becomes an "anti running relay" cause for some reason it kills the car (the RS still thinks it's running). If your just installing the relay to protect in an emergency then use the one relay and you'll learn real quick not to go all the way to "crank".
Other wise just junper the STARTER KILL output of the alarm to 2 relays. Basically install 2 starter kills in the car.

floaterr, how long have you been installing for??
You don't need to put an antigrind relay on the second starter wire. You can apply power to it all day, and as long as you don't apply power to the first starter wire the engine won't crank.

I'm afraid to answer! I know I screw up on my comments sometimes but I'm just trying to help. I'm finding that some of my practices are not "the suggested method" so I try and cover my butt. Like telling him he can install a 2nd relay. Also I find some people don't like to shortcut and prefer to do it 100%. He may not like the fact that going to crank shuts down the engine instead of just protecting the starter.
Technically I started installing in 93. I only did it for shop for about a year then I moved to electronic repair. Now I'm in telecom and only install for friends and family. I've actually learned more here reading the answers from current installers.

try an (1) ingition kill, the starter feed back may be coming from the Ignition line.
