Make sure that all IGN wires are powered up & that the power wire is straight to the battery because the constant wire under the dash is only rated at 10 amps. Also DO NOT use the (+) parking light output, use the (-) only. There is a 2nd starter wire as well that you need a relay for because it is a (-) trigger starter wire through a 180 ohm resistor.

"power wire is straight to the battery"
There is a thick WHITE/ red constant wire up by the bcm under the dash. Not sure what it's rated at but I've always used that for my constant and never had a problem. Since most everything in that car is negative and the ignition wires are tiny you shouldn't need a ton of power anyway. Of course power wire straight to the battery (fused of course) is always a good idea so either should work just throwing out another idea..

using the WHITE/ red under the dash is fine for power, I have done too many of these to count and have used that wire evry time. make sure you put the PURPLE / brown as sec. starter or else the heater fan will never turn on.

I don't believe you need ignition2 and 3. One ignition works fine. Also if you use the 555C and are using the same negative as for the 2nd starter relay, you have to diode isolate it to the relay or the accessories shut off when the remote starter's not running.

No need to hook up the other IGN wires and also, no need to hook up the ACC wire either. It will come on when you remote start the van.

i did about 2 of these vans on the chy.town and country lx model i did not power up the second ign van works fine but on the other i had too because heater will not power up unless 180ohm resistor was used...Whiteshack Electronics. ------------- mecp certified installer
