Before you install the system, thor-  
oughly read the “Installation” section  
of this manual. Then decide where to  
mount the control module and its  
components and where to route all  
wiring. Be sure each component’s  
wires reach from the main control  
module’s mounting location. These  
preparations could save you the trou-  
ble of remounting and rerouting your  
alarm system’s wiring and compo-  
nents.  
Warning: Installation of this system  
requires that you modify parts of your  
vehicle’s electrical system. To safely  
do this, you must also have informa-  
tion about your vehicle’s electrical  
system. Before you start the installa-  
tion, be sure you have an accurate  
electrical diagram for your vehicle  
and know how to read it. Most vehicle  
service manuals include this informa-  
tion.  
If necessary, call 1-800-598-2527 for  
information about your vehicle’s wir-  
ing.  
To complete the installation, you  
need to identify and connect to the  
following parts of your vehicle’s wiring  
system.  
USING WIRE PIERCING  
PROBE ADAPTERS  
• Chassis Ground  
• Constant +12 Volts  
• Accessory Power +12 Volts (only  
on when vehicle ignition is set to  
ON or ACC)  
Many procedures in this manual re-  
quire that you determine the voltage  
level being carried by an insulated  
wire. RadioShack Wire Piercing  
Probe Adapters (Cat. No. 278-715)  
let you easily do this using a test light  
or volt meter.  
• Starter Solenoid Ignition Wire  
from the Key Switch  
• Power Door Lock Actuation Wires  
(if you have power door locks)  
Simply slide the adapter onto your  
test light’s or meter’s probes. Then  
press the probe’s pointed metal tip  
through the insulation of the wire you  
want to test.  
• Door Switch Wire  
• Parking Lights Wire  
Fold out this manual’s back cover so  
you can see the wiring diagram as  
you make each connection and fold  
out the front cover and follow the  
checklist as you install the system.

DETERMINING YOUR  
VEHICLE’S DOOR  
SWITCH POWER TYPE  
Use the meter or test light to find  
a point on the fuse block that pro-  
vides a constant source of +12  
volts. Touch one lead to that point  
on the fuse block, and the other  
lead to one of the control wires.  
Operate your power door locks.  
For your alarm system’s passive arm-

controlled dome and courtesy  
lights that turn on differently  
depending on which vehicle  
door is opened. Be sure to  
locate a wire that is triggered  
from all your vehicle’s doors.  
Failed All Tests  
If you could not determine the  
power door lock type, call 1-800-  
598-2527 for assistance.  
3. Use masking tape to mark each  
control wire with its function  
(LOCK or UNLOCK) and type (A,  
B, or C).  
• If your dome light dims slowly  
when you close the door, your

2. Touch your meter or test light’s  
positive lead to a point on the  
fuse block that has constant 12  
volts. Use the other lead to probe  
the control wire. Then open the  
door. If the test light turns on or  
the meter indicates 12 volts, your  
vehicle has negative-switched  
door switches. Go to Step 3.  
FINDING THE STARTER  
WIRE  
To install the starter-kill option, you  
must find the starter wire (the wire  
that goes from your vehicle’s key  
switch to the starter solenoid).  
Follow these steps to find this wire.  
Touch the negative lead to a  
metal chassis part and the posi-  
tive lead to the control wire. Then  
open the door. If the test light  
turns on or the meter indicates 12  
volts, your vehicle has positive-  
switched door switches. Go to  
Step 3.  
1. Locate the group of wires going  
from the back of your vehicle’s  
key switch toward the engine  
compartment. (These wires are  
routed along the top of the steer-  
ing column in many vehicles.)  
2. To determine the starter wire’s  
color, refer to your vehicle’s ser-  
vice manual, contact the vehicle  
manufacturer, or call the Auto  
Alarm Helpline at 1-800-598-  
2527.  
If you could not determine the  
door switch power type, you  
probably selected an incorrect  
wire. Contact the Auto Alarm Hel-  
pline at 1-800-598-2527 for assis-  
tance.  
3. Once you select a wire that you  
believe is the starter wire, touch  
one lead from a 12-volt test light  
or volt meter to a metal part of  
your vehicle and probe the wire  
with the other lead.  
3. Use masking tape to mark the  
wire with its function (DOOR) and  
switching type (+ SWITCHED or  
– SWITCHED).  
4. Start your vehicle. The test light  
or volt meter should indicate 12-  
volts  
only when you are cranking  
(not while it is run-  
the engine  
ning). If this is not the case,  
repeat this procedure from Step  
3, selecting another wire.

5. Turn off the engine. Then cut the  
wire at a point where there are at  
least several inches of wire on  
each side of the cut. Be sure both  
wire ends are away from all other  
metal objects under the dash.  
FINDING YOUR  
VEHICLE’S PARKING  
LIGHTS WIRE  
To have your parking lights flash dur-  
ing an alert or when you use the car  
finder, you must connect your alarm  
system to your vehicle’s parking  
lights. Follow these steps to find the  
correct wire.  
Important Note: If you cut the  
correct wire, you will be unable to  
start your vehicle until you com-  
plete the alarm’s installation.  
6. Try to start your vehicle. The  
engine should not crank. If it does  
crank, you cut an incorrect wire  
— use a wire tap-in to restore the  
connection (see “Using Wire Tap-  
Ins” on Page 11).  
1. Locate the wire harness going  
from the back of your vehicle’s  
light control. If the control is on  
your vehicle’s steering column,  
the harness probably joins sev-  
eral other wiring harnesses.  
7. Use a piece of masking tape to  
mark each wire end with its func-  
tion (such as STARTER (TO  
KEY) and STARTER (TO SOLE-  
NOID).  
2. Use the vehicle wiring’s color  
code to find the parking lights  
wire. To determine the wire’s  
color, call the Auto Alarm Helpline  
at 1-800-598-2527.  
3. Touch one lead from a 12-volt  
test light or volt meter to a metal  
part of your vehicle and use the  
other lead to probe the wire.  
4. Turn on your parking lights. The  
test light should light or the volt  
meter should indicate 12 volts  
. If this  
only when the lights are on  
is not the case, repeat this proce-  
dure from Step 3, selecting  
another wire.  
5. After you locate the light wire, use  
a piece of masking tape to mark it  
with its function (LIGHTS).

FINDING CONSTANT  
USING WIRE TAP-INS  
AND IGNITION POWER  
We recommend you use wire tap-ins  
to make all connections.  
Your system operates from 12 volts  
and draws up to 15 amps of current.  
In addition to constant 12 volts, the  
system needs a source of power that  
is on only when the ignition is on  
(usually referred to as ignition power).  
Notes:  
• Because of the extreme tempera-  
tures that occur inside a vehicle,  
we recommend you never use  
black electrical tape to insulate a  
connection.  
Follow these steps to find constant  
and ignition power.  
• If you choose to solder connec-  
tions, use heat-shrink tubing to  
insulate the connections.  
1. Locate the wire bundle going to  
your vehicle’s ignition switch.  
2. There is a large red or striped red  
wire going to your ignition switch.  
With the ignition switch in the  
OFF position, touch one lead  
from a 12-volt test light or volt  
meter to a metal part of your vehi-  
cle. Use the other lead with a  
wire-piercing probe to probe the  
wire. Confirm that the light turns  
on or the meter indicates 12 volts.  
• Do not strip either wire when  
using a wire tap-in.  
1. Snap the tap-in’s grooved chan-  
nel over one of the wires.  
3. Mark this wire with its function  
(CONSTANT POWER).  
4. Turn the ignition to ON. Probe for  
a wire under the dash that has  
12 volts only when the ignition is  
on. Confirm this by turning the  
ignition on and off while probing  
each wire.  
2. Put the other wire in the other  
channel.  
5. Mark this wire with its function  
(IGNITION POWER).

these steps to mount the siren.  
MOUNTING AND  
CONNECTING THE  
SIREN  
Select a location under the vehicle’s  
hood for the siren. For the best re-  
sults, the location should meet the fol-  
lowing conditions.  
• The mounting location should be  
solid and have no mechanisms or  
moving parts on its other side.  
1. Using the siren’s base as a tem-  
plate, mark the three mounting  
hole locations.  
• For the loudest siren, the siren  
horn should point down toward  
the pavement.

2. Drill /8-inch holes at each mount-  
ing location, taking care not to  
damage anything behind the  
mounting surface.  
• The alarm should not point  
straight up, as moisture could col-  
lect in the siren horn and damage  
the system.  
3. Secure the siren to the mounting  
location with two of the supplied  
mounting screws.  
To prevent water damage, the  
system should not be mounted in  
a wheel well, directly behind the  
radiator grill, or close to the  
ground.  
4. Secure the siren’s black wire to a  
metal part of the vehicle chassis  
using the third mounting screw.  
Fully tighten the screw, making  
sure the wire remains secure.  
5. Route the red wire to the main  
wiring harness. Press the red  
wire’s connector onto the gray  
wire’s connector.
