Hey, I'm working on a 1993 Honda Prelude. I have the alarm and starter all hooked up and everything works but it won't start unless I have the clutch in. Does anyone know how to bypass the clutch. I think I need a relay but have no clue how to hook it up. Also, I hooked the window roll-up module from my old alarm into it and it isn't working either. I put a 1 amp diode on the starter kill wire i hooked the module into with the stripe on the brain side. Any ideas? Thanks guys.

The clutch wires for the Honda's are a BLUE/BLACK and are a (-) trigger. Wire in a relay like this: - 85: GROUND OUT WHEN RUNNING or Clutch activation wire from remote starter
- 86: Starter output from Remote Starter
- 87: Ground
- 30: Blue/Black wire at the clutch
- 87a: Not Used

The alarm/starter is a Compustar 2WSS-AS. Could you go into anymore detail about the relay? Sorry if I'm being dumb

coming from your compustar, use the thick gauge yellow wire (that's your starter output) to connect to #86, and use the thin gauge RED / black (that's a second starter output rated at 250 mA meant to drive a relay) to connect to #85.
to make it even easier for yourself, you should be able to simply connect that thin gauge RED / black to the clutch's blue/black wire and it should be all good. the relay is a safety precaution to protect the health of your compustar's circuit board, but i'm confident you don't necessarily need to use it.

I had the same problem bypassing the clutch on a 99 civic using a compustar, and what I did was I ran a wire from the purple wire from the main harness of the alarm (which is ground when armed or remote started) to the blue/black wire on the clutch, then cut that wire and solderd in a diode in place. Simple fix.
