3. Main Harness Connection
Replace O.E. Ignition Switch Harness with EVS
Power Harness
1. Unplug the 7-way ignition switch connector
from the back of the ignition switch (diagram
3.1). Carefully slice back harness tape so that
7-way ignition connector can be freely pulled
about half way down the steering column.
NOTE: Be careful not to slice or pull on the
airbag harness. This is the thin black shrink
tubed harness.
2. Plug the EVS power harness connector A (see
diagram 3.2) into the vehicle ignition switch.
3. Plug the vehicle's original 7-way ignition switch connector into connector B on
the EVS power harness.
4. Bundle the ignition switch wiring harness assembly to the other O.E. steering
column wiring harnesses using the supplied long tie wraps. Make sure to route
harness so that the EVS 6-way module connector is near the base of the
steering column.

4. Secondary Harness Connection(s)
A. Courtesy Light Connection
1. Locate the C203 26-way body connector
(Diagram 4.1) attached to the bottom of
the 74-way instrument panel connector
(left side of steering column).
2. Center splice the EVS YELLOW wire to
the O.E. M2YL wire in cavity #8 of the 26-
way body connector.
B. Ground Connection
1. Locate a solid metal body panel or dash
bracket that is grounded.
2. Verify the targeted ground point with a
voltmeter.
3. Use one of the supplied sheet metal
screws to attach the ground lug to the
verified ground point (DIagram 4.2). Use
care not to over-tighten this screw. Cover
the connection point with a small amount
of non-conductive grease or rust-inhibiting
paint to prevent future corrosion.
C. Door Lock Harness
1. Pull back the vehicle side of the driver's door
jamb boot to expose the 16-way connector
(Diagram 4.3). Disconnect.
2. Remove the interior driver's kick panel and pull
the vehicle side of the 16-way connector into the
vehicle. Plug the mating 16-way connector from
the EVS wire harness onto the vehicle-side
16-way connector.
3. Route the remaining EVS 16-way connector out
of the door jamb hole. Plug into the door-side
vehicle 16-way connector.
4. Replace the door jamb boot, ensuring that it is
properly sealed.
D. Headlamps / Parking Lamps
Note: An optional Headlamp / Parking Lamp kit is required for these connections.
If this installation is to include the Headlamp Illumination and Flashing Parking Light
option, do that installation now. Follow the instructions supplied with the kit.

5. Alarm Connections
A. Siren (Optional w/ Keyless Entry)
1. Locate the mounting location, just behind the battery on the drivers side fender
well (see picture 5.1).
2. Mount the siren using the supplied 1/4' sheet metal screws.
3. Route the siren wires to the area where the hood release cable goes through the
bulkhead panel.
4. From the inside of the vehicle, pop out hoodlock release cable grommet.
5. Route the siren wire harness through hoodlock release cable grommet inside the
vehicle (use care not to damage the terminals on the end of the siren wires).
6. Replace the hood release cable grommet. It may be necessary to slit the
grommet to properly seat it back in the firewall. Use a small amount of silicone, if
necessary to completely reseal the
grommet.
7. Insert the siren wires into the 22 way
module connector.

B. Multi-Function Status Indicator / Pushbutton
1. Keyless Entry Systems: Find a mounting location under the dash that is not
easily seen, yet is accessible by the customer.
Security Systems: Find a mounting location for the status indicator that is visible
from outside the vehicle.
2. Make sure that there is at least 2" clearance behind the selected mounting
location and any vehicle components.
3. Drill a 5/16" mounting hole.Then, using a small file notch the mounting hole to
accommodate the key way on the switch body.
4. Feed the status indicator wires through the mounting hole and snap the switch
body firmly into the hole. Depress the switch a few times to ensure that it travels
freely. If necessary, carefully enlarge
the hole.
5. If necessary, slide the retaining ring
over the back of the switch body.
6. Insert the status indicator wires into the
22-way module connector:
Security Systems:

C. Emergency Override / Programming Button (Security Only)
1. Find a hidden (not plainly visible) location underdash that is accessible while
sitting in the drivers seat. It is suggested that the override button be mounted in a
different location for each installation.

the disarm button.
3. Insert the BROWN disarm button wires
into cavities #2 & 13.The disarm button
wires are interchangeable.
D. Shock Sensor (Security Only)
1. Find a mounting location for the shock
sensor.The sensor must adhere to a
surface (or wire harness) under the
instrument panel that is in solid contact
with the vehicle chassis. The Ignition
switch wiring harness is an excellent
choice. Be sure to mount the shock
sensor so that the L.E.D. can be viewed
when adjusting the sensitivity.
2. Stick one of the supplied squares of
adhesive tape to the bottom of the
shock sensor case.Then attach the
sensor to mounting surface. Use one of
the supplied long tie wraps to secure
sensor firmly in place.

5. Turn the ignition key to the ON position.
6. Replace the module power fuse on the 6-way harness.
7. Turn the ignition key OFF.
8. Replace the door lock fuse on the 8-way harness.
B. SystemTest
Before testing the system operation, make sure to roll the drivers door window down.
If any of the following items fail to function properly, refer to the appropriate section in
the installation manual and double check all wiring, connector pin outs and fuses.
Before replacing the module or any of the systems components, contact technical
service at the number listed on the front cover of this manual.
Note:The items below that are underlined apply only the EVS Security system.

Operation Troubleshooting Procedure
AFTERTHE SYSTEM HAS BEEN DISARMED (UNLOCKED), CHECKTHE
FOLLOWING:
Engine will start Check connections
Doors lock when ignition key is
turned on and all doors are closed Check Operating Characteristics Option
Transmitter range (attempt
operating system from 25-50 feet) Re-locate antenna
Valet Mode (refer to Owner’s
Manual for valet mode operation) Review operation procedure
Trunk Release (if equipped) Review operation procedure
Headlamp Illumination (if equipped) Review operation procedure
Control Module Mounting
After all electrical connections are complete, and the system operation has been
verified, use the supplied tie wraps to securely attach the control module to a solid
underdash wire loom or support bracket. Make sure that the module and wiring
harnesses do not in any way interfere with the brake, clutch, or the accelerator
pedals.
Shock Sensor Adjustment (Security Only)
1. Close all doors and arm the system.
2. Moving around the vehicle, using an open palm slap various body panels on the
vehicle.
• A light to medium blow should cause the siren to emit a short chirp.
• A medium to heavy impact should trip a full alarm cycle.
3. Adjust the shock sensitivity up or down as need to achieve the desired setting.
4. Re-assemble all interior components removed during the installation.
Mounting the Antenna
For optimum performance, the antenna must be mounted as high as possible in the
vehicle.
• Do not mount the antenna and/or module in an area which is totally enclosed in
metal. Keep the antenna element as straight as possible.
• Do not coil any of the remaining antenna cable. For best results, make sure that
the antenna cable is completely uncoiled.
• Due to the nature of the antenna, there will be nulls in RF reception around the
vehicle. By slightly moving the antenna element these RF nulls can be reduced
and/or shifted in a different direction.
