having trouble installing remote start on a toyota camry 96. i need a wire that is only on in run position, a "heater" blower wire. the site lists it as accessory and BLACK / YELLOW - but that is an ignition wire, any ideas?

A ign is only on in the run position and as soon as that wire along with all the other ignitions and accesories (if applicable) is powerred up, it should work.

BLACK / YELLOW is Accessory
BLACK/ Orange is Ignition
BLACK / YELLOW Should power the heater

sorry, its early - i meant to say BLACK / YELLOW is on in run and crank positions. BLACK/ orange is the same. so still not clear on which is the heater :( now i also have a new problem - there are 2 power wires that are always on going to the ignition, white and WHITE/ red, today i accidently touched the WHITE/ red to a ground and i saw a spark, and now that wire has no power. i guess a fuse blew somewhere, any ideas of where it may be located? the car still cranks by key, so i wonder why there are 2 power wires like that going to it, if its even needed or could i even just splice into the white one?

ugh, update - i tried to actually crank the car, and it does not crank now. it just soundslike it is trying. i guess it needs that other power wire - can i just splice in to the other or where could i find the fuse?

I would not recommend that. Go into the fuse box under the hood and there should be 2 fuses labeled IGN one rated a 40amp and another one (but I do not know the amp rating). Just replace the one that is blown, it should crank up right away.

ah, i found it - it was a 30amp fuse by the way. the car cranks again :) well i'm at least back to the point of if i can't get this thing working this weekend i can just pull it out and go back to using my keys  i called bulldog and asked them what i should try, they said i should disconnect all the wires from the remote start unit except the power and ground and see if it cranks, and then add one wire at a time... guess i'll try that.

do you have some kind of starter inhibitor relay (starter kill)? if so, you may have putted the starter wire at the wrong side of the starter inhibitor relay (starter kill).

do you mean like some kind of factory protection? i don't think so.

did you installed a relay b/t the camry's starter wire (BLACK/ white)? you said that it didnt crank when you hit start. i assumed that you plug in the starter wire(rs unit) to the BLACK/ white, since the unit starts up.
the starter kill relay is w/ the rs unit, not factory, so did you installed one?

the remote starter unit is a bulldog security rs 102 ( https://www.bulldogsecurity.com/pdf/RS102_112_122.pdf ). the unit has an 18 wire harness and a 4 relay harness, there is a wire coming from one of the relays that plugs into that BLACK/ white starter wire - and i did connect it to that. i'm guessing that relay is the starter kill relay? thanks for trying to help me, i was about to the giving up point.

it seems like you dont have a starter kill relay. i hvent install one of these bdog unit.
at the starter/crank wire of the unit, yellow/blk, test the wire while starting rs.
i am stump on the ignition input wire on the 18pin, cant figure what it is. theres not enough info for installer like other companies do provide.

thanks for helping! this is the first time i've hooked something up like this, only done cd players before. i have one question: i hooked the wires from the rs to the ignition harness where the red arrow is pointing. there is a plugin where the yellow arrow is pointing, to the right runs to where the key goes in. the other side runs to under the hood, is it okay the i spliced in where i did?

oops, my picture didn't come out - my wires are spliced in on the side of the connector that runs under the hood. is that okay? i can go test what you want me to now - do you just want me to check how much voltage there is in different key positions or when i press the start button on the remote?

i'll wait for your post to see exactly what you want me to test. in the meantime, their tech support just called me back and he told me to try a test off their webpage: https://www.bulldogsecurity.com/pdf/relayharness.htm gonna run out there and try it real quick.
