its a 93 pontiac bonn. i have a crimestopper 900VI r/s. door locks hood pin ect. work fine. on this site the wires show 1 ing. but on omega it shows 2ing. pink and orange. i think the orange is a acc2 but either way after about 1 min. the fuse heats right up. i ran the 2 power leads from the brain to my extened pos. battery ter. tryed different grounds all give me the same result.

stupid question? on thie 93 bonnie the driving lights come on with the parking lights is this to much current for the crimestopper 900VI? the 900VI has a light output wire with a 10AMP. fuse

30 amp is a common number a lot of manufactures use to run their whole system. While this is fine for most cars, some cars it just isn't enough. If the wire is getting warm, then definately run a larger gauge wire first. Also, try disconnecting the orange wire and let it run to see if the fuse blows. Obviously the heat won't activate with remote start, but it should still start and run fine. If it DOES run fine, use a relay and hook it up as follows:
85: To acc 1 output on module (+)
86: To a good ground
30: To 12volts positive @ the ignition switch (thick red wire) - put a 25 amp fuse on this wire!
87a: Not Used
87: To your orange accessory wire at the ignition switch
All this does is lessen the load on your remote starter and put some load onto the factory ignition wiring which it's meant for..
Another thing to try is try putting the a/c on medium or low setting rather than the high setting. Or try the low and high instead of the medium. Some cars actually draw a LOT more amperage on the medium speed settings than they do on the high settings. You wouldn't think it works that way but a lot of times it does so give that a try.
Either way the first option with the relay should take care of your problem. Good luck,
Mike
