remote start hook up?

[RunUoveR]

i think im going to pick one up from work (NAPA), mostly just to warm 'er up in the mornings. i dont care about alarms, keyless entry, ect

my question is how hard it it to hook up? im pretty good with reading electrical but im sure the instructions dont give an exact diagram of where to hook it into a 1980's panther

easy.

Where's the wiring for the little servo that primes the carburetor for you?

This is the same diagram for the most part but includes other things.

Here are some wiring techniques I would suggest. Soldering is best but this method is fine for interior wiring not being exposed to elements. It also makes it easier to remove the wires so it could be replaced or put into another car. You do a lot less damage to the vehicle wires as well and once you do it like this once, all the wires are prepped if you need to tap into them for anything else. I have had years of good luck using this wiring method for remote starters and alarms.









PS, once again I have had zero problems with this for remote starter and Alarm systems. This over a time period of 7 years and 6 cars wired. I solder certain things that need it. This does not need to be soldered however if you wish to solder them it will be the best but unnecessary. The wires under your dash are not exposed to very much that would require them be soldered. Plus if you go to remove it or make a mistake installing you have to unsolder stuff and you will probably burn something in your car or yourself with a soldering iron. IMHO.

Hi

Urgh!! What a horrible way to join two wires, I always solder my wire joints and heat shrink wrap them.

THIS!

J hook the wires over each other... twist if needed to keep the joint together while soldering. slide over shrink wrap and heat. done. Or use good electrical tape to wrap it.

vibration in vehicles is not friendly to twisted wires.

when i student taught we had a student try and install one, they are a major pain in the ass. his had you open up the steering column and start poking around. it took us two days to get the damn thing working.

I don't know much about those things, but the only wires you need to get to start and run a box can be easily found under the hood. There must be some feedback to the module to tell it to stop cranking, but that's surely under the hood also.

you need to trip on the run line as well as hit the start line until greater than 13.6V is achieved (or so goes the theory). Then a delay timer runs for a set time. If the car is manually put into run (key in turn to run) before the timer goes off... it stays running. If the timeout is reached before the key is turned to on... the car turns off.

Double this. Electrical tape FTL. Heat shrink and solder FTW!


My 91 had a remote start. It didn't work. I used the signal wire left on the coil for a tach instead.
