I have installed (mostly) a remote starter on my Honda Civic (1991 DX Hatchback)

1. The schematic I have shows that the dome light (trigger wire) is green with red stripe and located
on the white connector at fuse box. I can't find it. I have looked everywhere. I have assumed it will
be 12v when the door is open. Is it a negative output? and can you direct me where I can find it?

2. The manual clutch bypass is the blue wire right? (other option is black) and the -0.00 v (pulse)
when running seems to be coming from the blue wire... please confirm.

3. I am looking for where the parking brake/emerg wire comes into the cluster. I need the one that
grounds when the brake is engaged. Any ideas on the location?

Thanks for all your help.

Thanks for responding, but in that I am already looking at the fuse panel, could you be more specific on the location?

Grab wire at the switch if you can not find the proper wire. This wire is a( -) trigger . It has current when the door is closed and ground out when the door is open

2. The manual clutch bypass is the blue wire right? (other option is black) and the -0.00 v (pulse)

??? Not sure about the 1991 Civic. You will have to attach the starter wire to the clutch wire to bypass the clutch when remote start. Ther eis a wire that tests 12 volts when you press the clutch and start the car.

3. I am looking for where the parking brake/emerg wire comes into the cluster. I need the one that

Grab it at the hand brake wire. Easier than finding the wire through the dash area.

I have a 92 Integra manual, and I think you'll have to bypass the clutch by a relay, there is a clutch switch that connect's to the ignition and when pressed, it connects to the starter, you'll have to buy a SPDT relay to bypass this and connect the blue wire to the relay, look at this configuration from clifford, what type of alarm do you have? https://www.directed.com/guides/pdfs/Clifford/igs/avantguard4_install.pdf look at page 10, JOEL
