Im trying to install a remote starter in my 2001 Chevy S10 truck and I am a little confused by which one of two wires is the accessory power wire. There is a heavy brown and a heavy orange wire that are both powered when the car is running. I am assuming from all the diagrams that I have looked at that they are both accessory wires. If my assumption is correct do I have to power both at remote start time?

By they way this site is great, lot of info.

from what i remeber there is a white and a pink these are -ignition is pink and white is second ignition. a second ignition tests like an ignition wire an accesory wire loses power while cranking an ignition wire stays around 12 volts while cranking.
