Notes:
*1 When doing remote start, this wire must be isolated from the keyswitch with the accessory relay. *2 Timer is a blk or grn box located right of fusebox behind a silver module or up high in the drivers kick behind a silver module, depending on model. Two plugs, white and black. The wires needed to control locks are in the black plug. *3 these colors are for low beam. to catch high beam use RED / black(+) and RED / green(+). *4 also found at the theft warning system in the drivers kick behind the ABS control unit if equipped with factory security.
