I have just installed a 562T remote start in a 2003 Saturn L200. When remote starting I get power for the ignition and accessories but I never get power on the Purple starter side wire. I have left the "wait to start input" and the "hoodpin shutdown input" floating for now but I don't think this should matter. One thing I have noticed is when I ground the small Purple (-) 200mA Starter Output wire I can get the starter to crank but it will not stop cranking until I have it ungrounded. My question is what are the 4 small wires (Blue, Orange, Purple, Pink) on the satellite relay for? And how should they be connected?
Thanks
The small wires coming from the 4 pin connector on the out side of the XCRS function the same as the wires in the ribbon cable running from the brain to the XCRS. These wires provide low current negatives to drive relays for things like extra ignition circuits, extra accessory circuits, extra starter circuits, etc. Your 03 Saturn L series needs to have the keysense wire grounded while remote starting, so you would use one of these wires to serve that purpose. The blue wire is a status output wire that goes to ground the entire time the remote start is operating, this can be used for that circuit.
To the problem with the starter circuit not energizing, make sure that the purple wire that you grounded is going to ground when the remote start should be cranking the starter. If it is not then I would make sure you didn't disconnect it from the brain of the 562T (the small connectors that plug into the brain are pretty easy to pull out accidentally).

Thanks for the help I have everything working now. The main problem was that the tach wire was connected wrong. The unit did a tach learn but every time I tried to remote start it thought the engine was already running.
