Hey everyone, my cousin got a 2 way starter and alarm from his friend, and gave me the unit, since he already has a compustar. Now, i have been messing with electronics for a while now. and when i installed this is was easy to locate wires, and all that. But the problem is, when i hook up the starter relays, power is always going to the Acc, and Ingition. If the relays are all added in, and i remove the main power fuse for the relays, power is out. The unit is sending a ground out to tell the coils to not send power, but i still got power, so is the relay defective? and thing is its some China alarm. I know "YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR" but this was free so might as well make use of it. Now i contacted tech support, but its all replys in half broken english. The unit doesnt have a tach wire or voltage sensing. I managed to get the car started once, but it recranks within 10 seconds. what do i do to make it stop recranking? sorry there is alot to read, but i just want to get this unit to not recrank. (dont want to damage starter) Car: Honda Accord 95 4 door Alarm/Starter: TLD Model TLD-I-013 Website: https://tielaoda.manufacturer.globalsources.com/si/6008810952310/pdtl/Car-alarm/1003522833/Car-Alarm-System.htm Thanks to all that reply.

Not too sure what the problem is there. If you think the relays are bad, just use your meter to test for continuity. manualy jumper the coils and make sure they switch. If you ask me, I would just go with a better unit. Even though you got the unit free, you might spend some money buying another starter or other mechanical/electrical equipment.

thanks for the reply, alright, got the unit to power off. it was a bad ground from the unit. well now that i can get the damn unit to start, how do i make it stop from recranking if it doesnt have a tach input or any voltage sensing technology (cheap china things) but hey its free u know so yea. im alright with alarm only, but i want start for winter. i have a presteige starter box that has a negative input to allow start. If i wire that into the existing alarm, how does the ground output work? is it a continuous ground or is it a split second ground pulse? thanks

FREE..... I don't think so. Whats a starter cost for your honda. NO TACH, NO VOLT sence...... are you sure this thing is supposed to start a car? How could it?

The easiest way to make it stop recranking would be to get a unit with a tach or voltage sense. Aside from that... I can't go to the link from work, so I can't tell you what the owners manual says.

hey, thanks every1 for replying. well supposably, the tech said that there is a wire called the "indicator light wire to Oil Pressure". So, i assume when the car is started, the oil pressure gauge receivers a 12 volt source. in that case, can i just run that wire to the acc wire? because if the car starts, the acc wire would have 12 as well. please help. thanks

I think, you have to connect "indicator light wire" to the alternator wire(voltage sense). Test alternator wire with digital multi meters, it is 2-3 volts when the ignition to ON position and start your engine with the key, this wire is 12-14 volts, then this is the wire you're looking for.
