Installing prostart car starter




















Turn the Valet switch back on, and wait for the parking lights to become illuminated. They will stay lit for five seconds. Press and release the "CH1," or "Button 1," before five seconds have passed after completing the last step. You will see the parking lights flash a total of seven times, five times quickly, and two slowly. Turn your vehicle off by turning the car key backwards to "Off," then take it out completely.

After closing your hood, you will be ready to use the ProStart remote. If your vehicle has an anti theft system, it is likely that you will need to remove this cover. If you choose to connect your remote starter to other functions such as the door locks and overhead lights then you will need to remove the kick panel as well.

Connect all your wires properly. It is very important that you securely connect all your wires. Loose wires can cause injury or major property damage.

It is best to solder all your connections to ensure that they are strong. You should also use heat shrink tubing where possible and a good quality electrical tape where you cannot. If there are two wires then split them and insert the attaching wire between them. Wrap the attaching wire around the stripped wire and solder them together using the soldering iron. Once they are securely attached, wrap electrical tape around the connection and use ties to hold them in place. Lightly tug on the wires to make sure they do not become loose.

Connect the ground wire. The ground wire will be part of the starter and is often black. Connect this by screwing through the ring terminal into a clean, unpainted metal surface in the kick panel area. This wire is very important for the proper functioning of your vehicle. Because it is so important, it is better to connect the ground wire to a location in the kick panel as opposed to being close to the ignition switch in the dash.

Also, it is better to use a separate grounding location to prevent feedback through wiring that may cause computer failures. Locate the 12V constant wire on the vehicle and attach the power wire of your system to it. The 12V constant wire is the one attached to the battery and is usually found in the bundle of wires attached to the ignition switch.

These are the airbag wires and must not be tampered with or unplugged. To test the power wires using the multimeter attach it to the wire when the car is off and the key is out of the ignition. It should read around 12V or the battery voltage constantly. Some vehicles will have more than one 12V constant wire.

In this case identify which is fused at a higher number of amps and attach your primary power wire to this one. If your starter has two power wires, attach the second power wire on the starter to the additional 12V constant wire. Use a soldering iron to connect all wires. This keeps them from falling apart and potentially damaging your vehicle.

Add further protection by taping them completely. Find and attach the accessory wire. The accessory wire supplies power to heat and air conditioning controls and supplies 12V when the key is in the first accessory position. Attach the accessory wire on the starter to the accessory wire on the vehicle. The voltage should be zero in this position. Turn the key into the first position but no farther. If you have found your accessory wire, the voltage will now read around 12V In this case use a relay to connect additional wires.

Locate and connect the ignition wire. The ignition wire supplies power to the fuel pump and ignition system and will be attached to the ignition switch under the steering wheel.

The vehicle manual or repair guides should tell you which color this wire should be. Connect the ignition output wire on the remote starter to this wire. Attach the multimeter to the wire while it is connected to a good ground wire and it should show no voltage. Turn the key to the first position and the voltage should still read zero. In the second position, before starting the car, there should be a voltage displayed on your multimeter. If there is, then you have identified the correct wire, if not then you must try again to locate your ignition wire.

Some vehicles have more than one ignition wire. If so, use a relay to connect all additional ignition wires. Find and attach the starter wire. This will only show a voltage while the vehicle is being cranked, or turned on. It supplies power to the starter solenoid when turning your vehicle on.

Connect the starter wire output on your remote starter to this wire by soldering the wires together. The voltage should be zero when the key is in all positions except while cranking the engine. If you think you have found the wire, start with the key in position two and then crank the engine.

The voltage should read zero while the key is in position two, show 12V while cranking and then go back to zero if you release the key before the engine turns over.

Connect the parking light and brake wires. The brake wire is usually found at the switch harness above the brake pedal but can also be found along with the parking light wires in the kick panel on the way to the rear of the vehicle. Connect these wires to the parking light and brake output wires on the remote starter. The multimeter should read between The brake wires in particular are important to connect because they prevent someone from driving off in your car while it is running from the remote starter.

Locate and connect the tachometer wire to the tachometer output wire on the remote sensor. This is required by the remote starter so that it disengages the starter once the car has started.

It can usually be found in the engine distributor or coil pack. Connect any security, anti-theft and other optional components. Some systems might have additional steps for connecting to the door locks of the vehicle. Others might need a special system for getting around the anti-theft system that exists in your car. As always consult the manual or manufacturer of your remote sensor to find out which extra features your system has and where you should connect them.

You may need an external relay, of which there are many different kinds. However the four most common include positive trigger, negative trigger, reverse polarity and multiplex door lock systems.

Consult your vehicle manual or repair guides to determine which system your vehicle uses. Use a relay to connect additional wires if there is more than one wire for power, accessory or the starter. A relay allows multiple wires to be connected together. There are many different designs, shapes and sizes but they all perform the same basic function. Connect the wires to the relay by wrapping them around the pins. Secure wires with tie wraps or screws to keep them away from moving parts.

I think i did connect the brake wire, driving light wire, ground and valet hood pin. Then I coudn't figure out where to connect the wire that the manual said "connect to the negative side of coil".

I know its hard to locate that coil for my car 93 cavalier 2. I really need help or maybe a whole step by step that will make my work a little faster. I found that 93 2. I found most of the color code for the ignition harness and some for secondary harness now I need to find the wire color of the following: Rearm output -? Disarm -? Starter kill -? Negative parking lights -? If you put that wire to ground, the remote start will start or take the ignition over.
