I am installing the Clifford matrix rsx3.5 in a 2000 GMC Sierra. I have done other remote starts but this is the first Clifford. My only question is about the neutral safety switch. In the install manual it states that the neutral safety switch must be wired in with the remote start. The truck has an automatic transmission is it really necessary to make this connection?

I should also have asked the following question--If I just ground this wire will the truck remote start if left in drive or reverse? ------------- Do it right the first time, only a doctor can bury his mistakes.

i havent test all cars, but the only ones ive test is TOYOTA and HONDA and it wont let you RS when in gear.
still, you shouldnt worry about this. you cant even take out your key when its in gear (auto tranny). that ensure that you cant RS when in gear.

Ya most automatic cars won't let you leave your car in gear and take out the keys...i wish they would- i get sick of hearing the chime when putting the car in gear to reove dash panels.

I have not begun the installation yet but I will test neutral safety system with remote start. I also would like to know how to go about adding the rear defrost on this truck to an auxilliary channel of the remote start if someone can help on that. I also have 3 tech sheets with different specs, on one it lists 3 ignition wires pink,white,brown. I know the white must be powered for sure along with the pink. But the brown wire is also listed as an accessory wire on another sheet I will test the wire with a DMM but my question is does the brown wire need to be connected to remote start?

Some ppl say yes, other say no. Personally, I always do connect the brown wire, just to be on the safe side. I've had people tell me everything still works fine if you dont connect the brown. But I've also heard stories of heat, and AC not coming on with remote start. I usually test the wires, and if they are hot when running with the key , then I think they should be hot when remote started. So I'll connect them. Same thing goes for 2nd starter wires. I noticed that some mazdas and nissans have a second starter wire. They will still start if this wire is not energized, but sometimes it will run very rough. So I always add another relay to energize it.

I did the installation today the remote start works but it only starts after the second attempt (maybe tach setting?). The other problem I have is the door lock module that comes with the clifford matrix rsx 3.5 does not contain any schematics on how to wire the locks do I need to add relays to this or just tie into the lock & unlock wires directly if someone can help me with that. The truck is a 2000 gmc Sierra.

faulty remote start could be a bad tach feed or a transponder issue.don't know about that one.maybe others will chime in..
well..you should see a 3 pin connector..GREEN/ empty/blue..
The green will supply a negative lock or positive unlock output
The blue will supply a positive lock or negative unlock output. Tie it into the lock/unlock wires directly..I don't see anything special about it as far as I know..others might differ..

The only thing that came in the box is a 3pin connector but its attached to a module(relay pack) which has an additional 5 wires coming from it. The manual does not say anything about it? ------------- Do it right the first time, only a doctor can bury his mistakes.

the bag it came in should have had an instruction sheet.... it is simply a 451M dual relay module... you dont need to add anything...it already has two micro-relays in the little black box... and the BLACK/ white neutral safety wire gets connected to the on/off toggle valet switch included in the box.... one wire goes to ground and one wire goes to the BLACK/ white wire in the harness.... ------------- Kevin Gerry

kgerry that is the problem I have the bag contained no instructions does someone have a schematic for this I checked Clifford website and could not find anything. Everything else is working as it should the only thing left is the lock and unlock connections. ------------- Do it right the first time, only a doctor can bury his mistakes.
