You may need to go to the Battery for Power:

Constant 12 volts

ORANGE

IGNITION SWITCH HARNESS

Mo12v, as a follow up question, what gauge wire would you need to take from the battery to the drivers kick panel?

All the ignition wires in that car are low-current. I use the power source at the ignition switch with no troubles-----use NEGATIVE TRIGGER parking lights, and for the remote starter, install a fuse that is less than 15 amps---a 10, 7.5, or even 5 is fine.

If you don't like the idea of getting power at the keyswitch, there is a thick orange wire in the kick panel under the carpet.

Don't forget that your car has PASSKey III; there's a transponder in the key. You can give up one of your spares and plant it in a bypass box, or it's easy to buy an uncut key from howardkeys.com, hlflake.com, ebay.com, or a local locksmith, and program it yourself.

Depending on the application, I usually use 12 Guage with 20 Amp Fuse at the Battery.

Also, ....probably for the price of a key and a little less hassle you could get one of these Modules from OMEGA:

GM Passkey 3 & Passlock 2 Override Interface (DB-PASS-23A)


GM Doorlock Alarm & Transponder/Passlock Interface (DB-GMDLBP)


Multi Vehicle Databus Doorlock Alarm Interface (DB-DLMT)


GM Passkey Transponder Bypass: Grand Prix 2004 (IB-UGM)
