NSTALLATION OF THE MAJOR COMPONENTS

Control Module:

Select a mounting location inside the passenger compartment (behind the dashboard). The mounting location

selected must be within 24" of the ignition switch wiring harness to allow connection of the 6-pin harness. Be

certain that the chosen location will not interfere with the proper operation of the vehicle. Avoid mounting the

module to or routing the wiring around the steering shaft/column, as the module or wiring may wrap around or

block the steering wheel preventing proper control of the vehicle. Secure the module in the chosen location

using cable ties or screws as necessary. Do not mount the module in the engine compartment, as it is not

waterproof.

Hood Pin Switch:

The pin switch included in this package is required for the safety shut down of the Remote Start system. If the

vehicle is being serviced, this hood switch prevents the remote start activation even if the transmitter is

operated. This switch MUST be installed in all applications. Failure to do so may result in personal injury or

property damage. Mount the switch in an area under the hood that is away from water drain paths. If necessary,

the included brackets may be used to move the switch away from rain gutters or allow mounting to the firewall

behind the hood seal. In either case the switch must be set to allow the hood door to depress the switch at

least 1/4" when the hood is closed and fully extended when the hood is opened. For direct mounting, a 1/4"

hole must be drilled. Carefully check behind the chosen location to insure the drill will not penetrate any

existing factory wiring or fluid lines. Drill a 1/4" hole in the desired location and thread the pin switch into it. If

using the mounting bracket, first secure the bracket to the desired location and secure the pin switch in the

threaded mounting bracket hole.

PROGRAM SWITCH / SAFETY (Red Handled ) CONTROL SWITCH:

Select a mounting location that is within reach of the ignition switch, as this switch, in combination with the

ignition switch and brake, will be used to program the certain features of the system. It is suggested that the

switch be mounted to the lower dash panel in the driver's area. Inspect behind the chosen location to insure

that adequate clearance is allowed for the body of the switch, and also that the drill will not penetrate any

existing factory wiring or fluid lines. Drill a 1/4" hole in the desired location and mount the switch by passing it

through the panel from the underside. Secure the switch using the nut, star washer, and ON/OFF face plate. It is

best to install the switch to allow the ON position to be up toward the driver and the OFF position to be down or

away from the driver. Route the switch wires toward the control module.

The CA-420 is to be used in vehicles with AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSIONS only! Although this is a sophisticated

system with many advanced features, IT MUST NOT be installed into a vehicle with a manually operated

transmission. Doing so may result in serious personal injury and property damage.

IMPORTANT!

DO NOT PLUG THE SIX PIN OR THE MULTI PIN HARNESS INTO THE CONTROL MODULE UNTIL ALL

CONNECTIONS TO THE VEHICLE HAVE BEEN MADE. AFTER SELECTING YOUR TARGET WIRES AS

DEFINED BELOW, DISCONNECT THE NEGATIVE BATTERY CABLE FROM THE VEHICLE BATTERY PRIOR TO

MAKING ANY CONNECTIONS.

THE RECEIVER/ANTENNA ASSEMBLY:

The Superheterodyne Receiver Antenna Assembly provided with this system allows routing from below the

dashboard for maximum operating range. Choose a location above the belt line (dashboard) of the vehicle for

best reception. Special considerations must be made for windshield glass as some newer vehicles utilize a

metallic shielded window glass that will inhibit or restrict RF reception. In these vehicles, route the antenna

toward a rear window location for best reception. Secure the antenna with double stick tape provided. After

securing the antenna with tape, we advise also securing a section of the antenna cable to a fixed support. This

will prevent the antenna from dropping down in case the double stick tape is exposed to extreme heat, which

may loosen its gummed surface. Route the 3 pin connector toward the control module using caution not to pinch

the cable as this will cause poor or no RF reception to the control module.

WIRING THE 6 PIN HARNESS:

RED w/ VIOLET: +12 volts

Connect this wire to a +12 Volt constant source found at the vehicle's ignition switch using the 30 Amp fuse and

holder provided. This wire provides power for the control circuit as well as the ignition 1 and ignition 2 relays.

RED: +12 Volts

Connect this wire to a +12 Volt constant source found at the vehicle's ignition switch using the 30 Amp fuse and

holder provided, but NOT the same vehicle wire as used by the Red/Violet wire above. Most vehicles have more

than one battery source supplying power to the ignition switch. Separate feed wires must be used for the Red

and Red/Violet wires. If your vehicle does not have two battery feed wires at the ignition switch then it is possible

to connect both wires to the vehicle's battery. This wire provides power for the start relay and the accessory relay.

IMPORTANT!

It is the responsibility of the installing technician to determine the load factor of the vehicles electrical circuits

when the vehicle is running and to adequately fuse the two power wires based on that load.

VIOLET: Starter Output

This wire will have +12 volts when the ignition switch is turned to the start (crank) position only. This wire will

have 0 volts in all other ignition switch positions.

PINK: Ignition 1 Output

Connect this wire to the ignition 1 wire from the ignition switch. This wire will show +12 volts when the ignition

key is turned to the to the ON, RUN and START positions, and will have 0 volts when the key is turned to the OFF

and ACCESSORY positions. For Diesel Applications, this wire must be connected to the ignition circuit that

powers the glow plugs if the vehicle requires glow plug pre-heating. (See selectable feature #8)

PINK w/ WHITE: Ignition 2 Output

Connect this wire to the ignition 2 wire from the ignition switch. This wire will show + 12 volts when the ignition

key is turned to the ON or RUN position and is some cases the START position. This wire will show 0 volts when

the key is turned to the OFF and ACCESSORY positions.

NOTE: See programming information concerning this wire to function as a ACCESSORY wire.

128-6832

4 of 16

ORANGE: Accessory Output

Connect this wire to the Accessory wire from the ignition switch. This wire will show + 12 volts when the ignition

switch is turned to the ACCESSORY, ON and RUN positions, and will show 0 volts when the key is turned to the

OFF and START positions.

WIRING THE 12 PIN HARNESS:

BLACK: Chassis Ground Source

Connect the Black wire to a known vehicle ground source or to a solid clean metal part of the chassis. Be

certain to remove any paint or grease and secure this wire with a self taping screw and ring terminal.

BLACK w/WHITE: Saftey (Red Handled ) Control Switch

The Black w/ White tracer wire provides ON-OFF control of the Remote Starter. When the Black w/ White wire is

switched to a full time ground, the CA -410 Remote Start Module is operative. When the Black w/ White wire is

open, the remote starter is disabled. Connect the Black w/ White wire to one of the wires from the back of the

previously mounted Safety (Red Handled) control switch. Connect the remaining wire of the control switch to

chassis ground. Always try to mount the switch so that the ON position is in an upward or toward the driver

direction.

GREY: Hood Pin Input (-)

Connect the GREY wire to the hood pin switch provided . This wire will be routed through the firewall into the

engine compartment. It is necessary to use an existing grommet when passing wires through the firewall to

prevent short circuiting. This is an important safety feature of CA-410, and failure to use this feature can result in

serious injury. Route the wire to the pin switch and connect it using the bullet connector provided.

GREY w/ BLACK: Negative Shutdown Input 2

Any time the Grey w/Black wire is grounded, the Remote Start system will stop operating, even if the signal is

received from the transmitter.If the brake light switch in the vehicle switches ground to the brake light circuit,

connect the Grey w/ Black wire to the output of the brake light switch. If the brake light switch in the vehicle

switches +12 Volts, do not use the Grey w/ Black wire; see Brown w/ Red wire.

BROWN Wire: PositiveShutdown Input 1

Any time +12 Volts is applied to the Brown wire, the Remote Start system will stop operating, even if the signal is

received from the transmitter. If the vehicle has a factory installed hood pin switch, and that switch provides +12

Volts to a light under the hood, the Brown wire can be connected to the existing pin switch.

BROWN w/ RED Wire: Positive Brake Input

Any time +12 Volts is applied to the Brown w/ Red wire, the Remote Starter system will stop operating, even if the

signal is received from the transmitter. If the brake light switch in the vehicle switches +12 Volts to the brake light

circuit, connect the Brown w/ Red wire to the output of the brake light switch. If the brake light switch in the vehicle

switches ground, do not use the Brown w/ Red wire; see Grey w/ Black wire.

Note: The Brown/Red wire is used for programming, if the brake switch in the vehicle switches ground, a

normally open push-button switch must be added. During the program sequence, when the brake pedal is

pressedand released, this switch will be used in it's place. If the installation of this switch is necessary, connect

one end of the normally open push button switch to the Brown/Red wire, and connect the other end of the switch

to a fused +12 volt source.

Brake Switch Positive Shutdown Detail

YELLOW w/ BLACK: + 12 Volt Alarm By - Pass Output

This wire provides a 500mA +12 Volt transistorized output when the ignition key is turned to the ON position, and

0 Volts when the ignition key is OFF and when the vehicle is running under the control of the Remote Start. This

wire should be connected to the ignition input of the alarm system. The Yellow w/ Black wire output will allow you

to Remote Start the vehicle while leaving the alarm armed, and to lock/unlock the doors while running under

control of the remote start system.

(2) WHITE Wires: Parking Light Output

These wires are the COMMON and NORMALLY OPEN contacts of the on-board parking light relay. If the

vehicle's parking lights are a +12 volt switched system, connect (1) of the White wires to a fused (15A max.) +12

volt battery source, and connect the second White wire to the vehicle's parking light wire. If the vehicle's parking

lights are a chassis ground switched system, connect (1) of the White wires to a chassis ground source, and

connect the second White wire to the vehicle's parking light wire.

BLUE w/BLACK: Active output - Ignition 3 / Shock Disable Output

This wire provides a 300mA ground output that becomes active 3 seconds before the Remote Start system

initializes, and remains grounded while running plus an additional 4 seconds after the Remote Start system turns

off. In all of the applications described below, a relay will be required. The Blue/Black wire can be used to

accommodate the following situations:

1. Shock Sensor Bypass:

If there is Shock Sensor used with an alarm system and it is not shunted during the Remote Start activation

period, then vibration from the running vehicle can cause the alarm to trigger. In this case, connect the Blue/Black

Wire to terminal #86 of a external relay. Connect terminal# 85 of the relay to a fused + 12 volt battery source. Cut

the shock sensor trigger wire and connect one end of the cut wire to terminal #30 and the other end of the cut

wire to terminal #87a. Just before the Remote Start system is activated, the relay contacts will open, preventing

the shock sensor's operation until the Remote Start system shuts off.

2. Ignition 3 Output:

Some newer vehicles use a third ignition wire which is required to start and keep the vehicle's engine running. If

this is the case, connect the Blue/Black wire to terminal #86 of an external relay. Connect terminal # 30 & # 85 to

a fused + 12 volt battery source rated for a minimum of 25 Amp. Connect terminal # 87 to the third ignition wire in

the vehicle.

3. Transponder Key Override:

To bypass the system while the vehicle is operating under the control of the Remote Start system.Connect the

Blue/Black wire to the NEG trigger input of the accessory bypass.

BLACK/GRAY: Diesel Wait To Start

For Diesel glow plug preheat circuits, this Wait To Start input will allow the ignition to keep the glow plugs active

for the vehicles automatic time out period before cranking the starter motor. If the BLK/GRY is connected to the

glow plug wire, this will take precedence over the timing setting and the Gas/Diesel programming in the feature

programming chart. Use this wire if you do not want to set the timing of the glow plug preheat circuit as shown in

the feature programming chart.

VIOLET/WHITE: Tach Sensor Input

This wire will continually monitor the engine tach rate while the unit is under power of the Remote Start system.

This wire will be routed to the vehicle ECM tach input or through the firewall into the engine compartment and

connect to the negative side of the ignition coil. This Remote Start system learns the tach rate of the vehicle and

in most cases will operate properly from one multi coil pack regardless of the number of cylinders. If the vehicle

has a single coil system for each cylinder, it may be necessary to connect this wire to more than one coil for

proper tach reference. shown in the feature programming chart.

WIRING THE 4 PIN HARNESS:

This harness provides low current outputs to control various functions in the vehicle during different stages of the

Remote Start system's operation. Understanding these outputs and the time in which they occur will allow you to

determine if they are needed for the particular vehicle you are working on, as well as how to use them.

Green w/Black: Pulsed Ground Output Before Start

The Green w/Black wire will provide a 1 second 300mA pulsed ground output 1.5 second before the Remote

Start system activates as well as when the transmitter is used to unlock/disarm the system. Typical use for this

output would be to disarm a factory theft deterrent system to prevent false triggering of the factory alarm when the

Remote Start system engages.

Blue: Pulsed Ground Output After Start

The Bluewire will provide a 1 second 300ma pulsed ground output after the vehicle is started under control of the

remote start system. Typically this wire will be used to re-lock the vehicle doors if the doors unlock automatically

when the factory anti-theft system is disarmed.

Black w/ Red: Pulsed Ground Output After Shutdown

The Black w/ Red wire will provide a 1 second 300 mA pulsed ground output after the Remote Start system shuts

down. This output will occur regardless of whether the circuit times out or is manually terminated. Typically this

output will be used to re-lock the vehicle doors if the doors unlock automatically when the ignition circuit

transitions to OFF.

Black w/ Yellow: Ground Output During Start (Crank)

The Black w/ Yellow wire will provide a 300mA ground output while the starter output of the Remote Start system

is active. This output can be used to activate the Bulb Test wire found in some GM vehicles.

2 Pin Blue Connector : Programming Switch

Route the gray and black wires in the 2 pin connector from the previously installed programming switch to the

control module and plug it into the mating blue connector on the side of the module.

3 Pin Antenna/Receiver Connector: (White Connector)

Plug the previously routed three pin connector from the antenna receiver assemble into the mating connector of

the control module. This connector supplies 12 volts, ground and RF data from the antenna receiver to the

remote start module. Be certain this connector is firmly seated making good contact to the control unit.
