Everything works fine expect valet switch o and i didnt use remote start, i read the installation guide and it says to hook up the heay gauge pink wire of the relay satellite to Ign output but when i do it makes a click noise nonstop. My question is do i have to use a relay o just a straight connection. Thanks for the help , sorry if type something wrong im new to the forums

The yellow wire in the ribbon harness is the ignition input for that system. Make sure the yellow is seeing +12V when the ignition is energized. Actually if you are not using the starter kill output of the system, then I believe that is the only wire that needs to be connected for the security portion of that alarm to function properly.

hey Twelvolt the ribbon is harness with a pulg both ends which goes from the brain to the relay satellite, so your are say just to cut the yellow wire from ribbon harness and connectIgn output. O Thank's for your help.

Yes, if you are not using the remote start or the starter kill portions of the system, the only wire required would be that yellow positive input.

You need to find out where the clicking is coming from.
I would have ditched the XCRS relay pack with the built-in starter kill and just used a single relay instead. Would have taken up less space, and would have been easier.
Cut the ribbon cable in half (or however long you need it)
Yellow from alarm brain ribbon cable ---> 86 on relay ----> ignition wire in car.
ORANGE / black in ribbon cable to 85 of relay
87a - cut starter wire
30 - other side of cut starter wire.
