Printer Friendly Forum Posts - Chrysler Cirrus 99 Alarm Install

Hello,

I am a novice when it comes to alarm installations. I am an electrical engineer and have done many audio systems in a car, but never the alarm, and was hoping for some guidance.

I purchased a remote start/alarm system (https://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/dll?ViewItem&item=7932846319) which is suppose to come with everything I need for a basic install. In reading through the directions I have some questions. I do have the map for my car specifically (99 Cirrus https://www.the12volt.com/installbay/detail.asp?info=alarm&year=1998-99&make=Chrysler&model=Cirrus&ID=17501&type=Alarm) but am a little confused on some terms;

Remote Start Circuit;

(starter harness) It comes with three relays and it looks like I have to hook up 5 wires, and the others go to my control module. They colors are yellow, red, blue and 2 brown. I can see from the ciruit diagram that I need to hook the Yellow to the Start module (which is also yellow on this car), It looks like the 2 brown wires go to the ACC (which I believe is the "Accessory" wire?) and the on position (I have NO idea what wire this is, is it the ignition wire?) The diagram also has the red wire which is suppose to go to a positive in that circuit, but I am lost as to where it goes...does it go right to the battery?

There is also a few wires that come off of the starter module (RED, GREEN, and YELLOW). From the diagram it looks like the Yellow connects to the Relay modules yellow wire? The green goes to the hand brake (which I believe would go to the + Brake wire). Where does the red go?

In the second wire harnes I have 4 wires (please see diagram at page where I bought the unit for a diagram) purple, white, blue and orange. It looks like the orange, white and blue wires are for a door trigger (which I am not installing). The purple wire goes to the Ingnitor....is this needed?

Questions from those paragraphs:

1. Does the ACC stand for the "Accessory" wire

2. Where should the other brown wire go in the remote starter harness?

3. Do I hook up the red wire to direct power, ie +12v somewhere on the fuse panel in the starter harness?

4. Does the yellow wire that comes out of the extra cable connect to the additional Relay module that I have yellow wire?

5. Can I just splice in the + Hand brake wire to the green wire in the harness?

6. Can I eliminate the orange, white and blue wires for the door trigger since I am not installing one?

7. Where do I put the purple wire for the ignitor?

Alarm wiring:

Keyless Entry wires:

It comes with 6 wires, and in my wiring scheme for the Cirrus, it only has a WHITE/ green wire for the lock and unlock. It says that I must use a + trigger through a 620 ohm resistor to lock and a + Trigger through a 2.7k resistor to unlock.

Questions for this paragraph:

1. How do I hook up the 6 wires that come to this kind of car?

2. Do I need to get resistors and play with that? If so, what amp resistor should I use and how?

3. There is also 2 brown wires in that alarm wiring that goto a "Direction Light"....what and where is this?

I know that this must seem like a ton of questions, but I am wanting all the facts before I start and hope that one of you would be kind enough to guide this novice. I am good with these things, I just have not done this particular thing and really want my wife to feel safe in her car.

I thank you in advance for your assistance!
