Any help on this would be great.

I had a 1988 Dodge Shadow with a remote car starter in it, I then crashed the car and got the car starter removed. The problem is now I have no wire diagram to install it on a different vehicle.

It came off a 1988 Dodge Shadow - with power trunk and doors hooked up and I want to install it on a 1988 Chev s-10 - with no power doors or truck.

Another problem is that I have no idea what kind of starter this is, no name on it or keychain anywhere. I think it might be a 'Whistler' if that is even a brand.

Here is what I have to work with, thanks in advance for your help.

ok, ive searched everywhere, cant find anything. so i decided to take it apart and it had everything listed on the circuit board. However I couldnt figure out what 'jlc' and 'lc' mean. Anyone know? Thanks

Look for the FCC id number on the back of the remote and/or the remote start module. Then go to https://www.fcc.gov/oet/fccid/help.html#top and enter the FCC id number and it will tell you of the manufacturer. Then try and see if the mfg has the install manual on a website.

mr_fusion, i figured out its a Whistler, but I can't find their website anywhere, all I can see is a site for theoir radar detectors.

but i tried installing it today and it works fine without those 2 things hooked up.

so thanks for all your help
