98 Grand Prix Remote Start

Hi.  I'm in the middle of installing a remote start in my 98 Grand Prix and picked up a couple of diodes for the door trigger wires from Radio Shack.  All they had were Zener 1 Watt in 5.1, 6.2 and 9V so I picked up a set of each as tomorrow is New Years and nothing will be open  :(

Please tell me that these will work...

Do I even need to connect the passenger door switch??  If not, then I assume only the driver's door will be protected by the factory alarm....correct? 

Next tell me that I have the correct wires, Tan (C1)(Driver Door Ajar Switch Input (GND)) and Dk. Blue (C3) Passenger Door Ajar Switch Input (GND).

Thanks Very Much,

Tony

no dont use a zener, When a zener is reversed biased it will breakdown at the rated voltage. Meaning that it will conduct in reverse as long as the reverse voltage across it is equal to its rated breakdown.

In other words if you use a 9V zener it will behave the same in forward bias mode, it will have about .7V across it. If 12V is applied backwards it will have 9V across it, not 12.... You could try to use the 9V zener, i would not recommend it but it may work for you in a pinch until you get another

Hi Kirk, it's an automatic, as are all Grand Prixs from 97+, not sure about the previous body design.

hi if your just putting rs in you have no need for the door triggers to be hooked up

Good answer, don't know what I was thinking.  First RS install. 

Ok then, here's what I need to confirm for wires and colors on my 98 Grand Prix GT.

Wires from the RS are (-) Unlock, (-) Lock, (-) Disarm, (-) Arm.  Can someone tell me what wires these go to, I'm pretty sure they're all located at the BCM in drivers kick panel.

Here's what I have figured...(-) Unlock goes to (-) White    (-) Lock goes to (-) L. Blue   However, I'm not sure where to route the wires from the RS for Factory Arm (-) and Factory Disarm (-).  Do these two go to the same connections as well???

Thanks,

Tony

K, think I got the factory arm/disarm figured, haven't tried it yet though.

Arm is the same as lock at BCM (-) white and Disarm is also at BCM (-) ORG/BLK...

Correct?

EDIT: Lock at BCM is L.Blue not White.

Could someone tell me if I have the right wires?  98 Grand Prix. 

Can I use (-) Lock (L. Blue) at BCM for ARM and is (-) Disarm (ORN/BLK) at BCM???

Thanks,

Tony

Hi, I've finished installing my ProStart remote starter into my 1998 Grand Prix.  Everything works great except for one thing.  The lock button on the Remote Start remote locks and unlocks the doors but doesn't arm or disarm the factory alarm system. 

Also, if I use the Factory remote to arm the alarm/lock the doors, and I use the Remote Start remote to start the vehicle, the horn beeps once (alarm goes off) before the car starts....which it does normally.

For the lock input I used the L. Blue wire at BCM and for unlock I used the white wire at same location.  For factory disarm, I used the ORANGE / black wire at same location.

Thanks for any help,

Tony
