Step 1, Heavy Gauge Wire Connections
Ground Wire
The BLACK wire connects to the pin next to the light flash jumper
fuse. First strip back a ¾-inch section of the insulation off the
BLACK wire and crimp a ring terminal (not provided) to that wire.
Locate a clean, paint-free metal surface in the drivers kick panel
(DO NOT GROUND ON DASH). Using a self-tapping screw, drill the
screw with the ring terminal to the kick panel. Once screwed down,
pull on the wire to ensure a good connection.
Constant Power and Ignition Wires
Almost all your power and ignition wires can be found behind the
key cylinder under the lower driver's side dash panel. Using the
appropriate hand tools, remove the lower dash panel taking care
not to break any parts. If the panel does not come off easily, check
for any additional screws you may have missed.

Once the lower dash panel has been removed, locate the ignition
harness at the back of the key cylinder. This is usually a group of
heavy gauge wires (approximate 14ga.).
Place the black lead of the LED tester to a clean metal surface in
the kick panel area and secure it. Probe one of the thicker gauge
wires. The ignition wire colors of your specific vehicle can be
obtained at www.readyremote.com.
Testing for Constant Power Wires
WARNING!Before making any connection to constant
battery power, make sure that the two 30 amp fuses
are removed from the fuse holders on the two pink 12
VOLT wires. Failure to do so may cause fire or short-
ing of sensitive electrical components.
Note! More problems are attributed to poor ground
connections than any other cause. Take extra care
to ensure the ground is a clean metal-to-metal
contact and secure.

18 © 2007 Directed Electronics
With the key in the off position, test the suspect wire. The
constant power wire will read 12V on the multimeter. Once the
constant power wire has been identified, solder the two heavy
gauge 12 VOLT wires (PINK) from the control module to it and
wrap the connection with electrical tape.
Testing for Ignition Wires
With the multimeter lead still connected in the kick panel, locate
the suspected ignition wire. It will test differently than constant
12 volts. Place the red lead of the multimeter on the suspected
wire. With the key in the off position the multimeter will read 0.
Turn the key to the on position and the multimeter will read 12
volts. Now, watching your multimeter, turn the key to the crank
position. If the 12 volts stays on, then you have found your igni-
tion wire. If the wire tests correctly, solder the BLUE heavy gauge
wire to it and wrap the connection with electrical tape.
If the vehicle requires more than one ignition as per the web site
information, follow the same test procedure and solder the GREEN
heavy gauge wire to it then wrap the connection with electrical
tape. If your vehicle has only one ignition wire, secure the GREEN
wire and dress it out of the way.
Note! If the vehicle has more than one constant
power wire, use two of them. Connect one of the
heavy gauge PINK wires to one of the constant
power wires, and the other heavy gauge PINK wire
to the other constant power wire.

If your vehicle requires more than two ignitions, an additional
relay (not provided) is required. Refer to the diagram below.

Accessory and Starter Wires
The starter and accessory wires will be located in the same harness
as the ignition and constant power.
To find the accessory wire, leave the multimeter’s black lead
connected to ground. Take the red lead and probe the wire
suspected to be the accessory wire. With the key off, your multi-
meter should read 0 volts. Turn the key to the on position The
multimeter should read 12 volts. Now turn the key to the crank
position. If you have the correct accessory wire, the multimeter
will read 0 volts while the starter is cranking, and 12 volts once
the key returns to the on position. If the wire tests correctly, strip
some insulation off and solder the WHITE heavy gauge wire and
wrap it with electrical tape.
If your vehicle requires more than one accessory then the GREEN
igniton 2 wire can be programmed to function as an accessory
output.

21
© 2007 Directed Electronics
If the GREEN wire is being used for Ignition 2, an additional relay
(not provided) is required for a 2nd accessory. Refer to the
diagram below.
Now that the accessories have been located, find the suspected
starter wire according to the web information. Leave the black
lead of your tester on ground and place the red lead of your multi-
meter on this wire. The multimeter should read 0 volts in all key
positions except the crank position. In the crank position your
multimeter should read 12 volts, and will go to 0 volts when the
starter disengages.
