Ok so I decided to install a
hornet 563T into my 2000 Toyota Rav4. So far I've got the key-less entry and alarm part working.
I have a question about the the satellite relay part of the install. The wires are thick, (like maybe 12 gauge wire?) but at the ignition switch the wires a tiny 18 gauge wire. Is this really where I should make there connections? Here is the install
manual .
I was thinking I could cut the ribbon and just connect it like that. The relay does not seem to be needed.


Also does anyone know if I have a built in neutral safety switch in the rav? I guess I could just field test it. If I don't hunting down the wire in the rav won't be that hard.
Hmmm, maybe I poorly formed my question. I am quite the novie, let me re-phrase it.
I see the starter, ignition and acc wire under the steering column. These wires come out of the they key ignition part and go on to some unseen relay.
I am installing a remote start kit with a relay satellite. The satellite has these big gauge wires that is meant to switch high current.
Should I connect the satellite relay to these small 18 gauge wires?
If not, I guess I should follow these wires to the relay they control. And do my connections there.
CORRECT...............The R / S's are made for a varity of Vehicles, so they have to have the Guage wire you refered to.
Hook up, as your Instructions show & ( if you have ) Vehicle Wiring Guide......
