ok - my remote start has 2 wires that supply output to my parking lights. On one harness it supplies a +12V output and another harness is supplies a negative 500ma output.
Are these 2 wires getting connected to the same parking light wire
in the vehicle? The one that reads 12v w/ lights on?

Thanks in advance!

You use only one of the two. Some vehicles have a (-) wire that triggers the relay while other vehicles have a (+) parking light wire . Use which ever one you want or your vehicle requires. I usually look at which one is easier to get to. If it's easier to use the (-) the I tape up the (+) wire off the alarm harness or vise versa.

Thanks for the reply guys!...

It's a crappy tire unit and my car's a 1989 Toyota Celica GTS.

Here's the RS unit I have and the wires in question.
I already have the +12v wire attached to the green +12V
parking lights wire - the wire in question is the one on
the 2 pin harness with the horn output wire.

Appreciate it!

BTW, Jeff @ Velocity Motors - Did you ever use those logos I did for
you sometime ago?

Mike, the YELLOW (-) wire you will not need to use if you already used the YELLOW (+) wire from the other harness. The GREEN wire for the 5th relay to power the 2nd IGN wire ( BLACK/ ORANGE ) at the ignition harness. I ended up using a different logo. The member's liked the current one that we have now, but thanks for the efforts and time.

Thanks a bunch Jeff.

Yeah - the 5th relay thing was figured
out awhile ago. I just used an old .jpg
to show what 2 parking light wires I
was talking about. - Thanks though.

And, not a problem about the logo.
I owed you one!

Have a good day folks.
