Hello-
I'm trying to install a remote start in my 1995 Caprice. It's a Alpha guard AG-95s. (I've searched the forum)
I have the alarm part of the system working. I have not hooked up everthing yet ie:door locks, siren, led. I've been trying to make sure I can get it working before I hook that all up.
The remote start has two wires that say they MUST be hooked up for the remote start to work.
One orange that should be hooked up to Brake pedal (per my diagram) or handbrake per internet instructions (I've tried both...neither made a difference....Ive tried with brake pedal pressed/unpressed and handbrake engaged/un-engaged)
The other is a yellow wire that comes from the side of the box, not apart of the harnesses that plug into it. It says this needs a oil indicator light /high tension wire. From what I've found on this forum this should be hooked up to my tach wire??
So with that yellow wire unhooked when I try to start the car it will start right up..run for 2 seconds then turn off. It will repeat this sequence 4 times then quit. When I have the yellow wire hooked up to the tach wire it will crank the car over for 3 seconds...and it will not start. BUT the LCD remote will show that the car is running.
THis is my first attempt at installing a remote start. SO I'm not fimiliar with what HAS to be hooked up or why. Can someone please give me some direction on what I should do or check out?? Thank you!
Here's the wiring breakdown for the remote start I found on this forum.
ALPHAGUARDS AG-95S
Installation Guide (Diagram on Page 14)
There are 7 sockets on the side of the module.
STARTER
The 6-pins harass on the right of the module connects to the starter (igniter). Particular
wire identification is as below:
Black -> Ground
Red -> Ignition power
Yellow -> “Start” position
Brown -> “ON” position
There are two brown wires. The number of brown wires used
depends on the number of wires already connected to the “ON”
position. If there is only one then one brown wire is used. In that
case, leave the other brown wire alone.
Blue -> “ACC” position (ACC = air condition)
Cut off -> Engine cut-off relay
OUTPUT DEVICES & CENTRAL LOCK
The 10-pins harass next to the starter harass connects to output devices and central lock
system. Particular wire identification is as follow:
Pink -> Siren
Blue Black -> Trunk release, (-) 100mA
Brown x 2 -> Direction lamp (L & R)
The following 6-pins connect to the central lock module (sold separately). There are 4
different connection types (see Page 16). Particular wire identification is as below:
Orange -> Central lock module
White -> Unlock^
Yellow -> Negative
Orange Black -> Central lock module
White Black -> Lock^
Yellow Black -> Connect to Yellow for close circuit
The yellow black is connected to the yellow, and then yellow
connected to the common line. This way the circuit is "closed";
otherwise the connection won't work.
^ White and White Black are exchangeable if needed.
Note: Common line = negative polarity, NOT ground
Tips: The 1st diagram and 5th diagram suits most cases (based on the fact that most
vehicles use negative polarity for power locking).
HARDWARE SETTING
One jumper next to the central lock harass configure automatic arming mode (see Page 9).
INPUT DEVICES
The 4-pins harass next to the jumper connects to input devices. Particular wire
identification is as below:
Blue -> Door pin switch (-)
Depending on the polarity used for power locking, use only (-) or
(+) to connect to the door pin switch***.
Blue White -> Door pin switch (+)
*** Please refer to Blue
Orange -> Handbrake light
This wire must be connected to activate the remote start
function. The system monitors if the handbrake is applied. If the
handbrake is not applied the system will reject all remote start
requests.
White -> ACC on
SHOCK SENSOR
The 3-pins harass next to the input devices harass connects to the shock sensor.
*ULTRASONIC SENSOR*
The 3-pins harass can be used for connecting to the ultrasonic sensor (sold separately).
LED
The 2-pins harass next to the shock sensor harass connects to LED light.
ANTENNA
The 1-pin harass next to the LED harass connects to antenna.
FROM MAIN MODULE
One yellow wire from the main module connects to oil light / tension coil.
Yellow -> Oil indicator light/High tension wire
This wire must be connected to activate the remote start
function. There are two ways to connect this wire. It can be
connected to (1) the oil indicator light* or (2) the high tension
wire** (see Page 14).
* The oil indicator light should be on the dashboard. It usually
blinks when starting up the vehicle.
** The high tension wire method is recommended only for older
vehicle.
Okay I just tried hooking up the yellow to the tach again and tried this:
When it's hooked up it will crank the car over but not start. If I turn the key on when it's doing this....same result.
With the wire hooked up to the tach, I try to start it normally....and it will crank but not start up. Once I disconnect the wire it fires up fine?????
Also my manual says for the orange wire to be hooked up to the brake (+). It says the wire on the brake pedal switch that shows 12 volt with the brake pedal is depressed. I assumed since it's with the "input" signals that this is where it should be hooked up, and not to my hand brake.......
Tach is a RED / black wire:
NOTE *2 to get to the TACH wire remove the air cleaner assembly to access the 4-Pin Plug, the RED / BLACK tach wire is in this 4-Pin plug. The connector is located just off the center of the engine more towards the Passenger side. The engine will not start with the air cleaner assembly removed.
Hope that helps
