I am going to install a bulldog RS1200E on my '03 saturn L200 sedan. I have the wiring diagram for the car, and did some research here. Before I begin help me with the following questions:

1.The manual shows one of the brain wires to the pink ignition wire, and on the bypass module one of the wires also goes to the pink ignition wire, is this correct and can I just splice the two together before splicing on the pink ign. wire?

2.I saw some references here about the keysense wire needing ground. The manual mentions nothing about the keysense wire. Should I just splice the keysense wire to the brain wire that is being grounded on a dash bolt? There is a white wire from the brain that shows ignition negative in the manual-should that go to keysense? I am confused what that wire does, no mention in the manual.

3.The alarm bypass module also needs a 12V constant source, can I use one of the same two that the brain is using?

4.My wiring diagram for the car shows two ACCESSORY /HEATER blower wires, one orange and one brown, which do I connect the brain to?

Thanks in advance.

Steve

Thanks for the help. Excuse my newbness, what is the "ground out while running"? I see nothing of that mentioned in the manual. I also see you don't think much of the Bulldog.

Since doing more research I have decided against the bulldog. I am thinking of the valet 562T. I have a thread on recommending a rs if you want to chime in. Thanks
