Hey guys,
I have a 1997 Nissan Sentra with a Crimestopper CS-2011 IV alarm hooked up to it. I have the remote start relay hooked up to the BLACK / YELLOW wire. Apparantly these cars have two starter wires that need to be hooked up. My question is when I hook the other relay up to the BLACK/ Blue wire, do I have to put a diode across the coil (terminals 85 and 86). The reason I'm asking is the Crimestopper relay base has what looks like a diode in heatshrink across these terminals. Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Erick
i don't believe that you will have to do that because the diode is only a safe guard against over cranking the system with the key if it has been remote started. it has been a minute since i had to do a second starter but i bet the second starter wire is going to be kinda small and if that is the case i want to say i actually used second ignition output off the alarm to do it without a relay. someone that has done one of these 2 wire starter systems might need to double check my info here but i believe that is the way i did it and it worked fine that way. the second starter wire is merely to make it harder to hotwire the vehicle to be stolen i think. i hope that helps but if you call the hot line for that product then they can probably tell you if there is a better way to do it but in theory that should work. hope this helps and good luck.
