dunno if you got your answer yet but the Haynes manual, located at your nearest parts store has an entire layout for you. :2cents:

The common DIY'r can't read what's in a Haynes manual for the correct info needed for a remote start or alarm install. Besides, Haynes is mostly mechanical and not electrical. Plus, it is made for OEM type repairs, not aftermarket alterations.

Just like on a brand new T&C minivan, it will not tell you which wire to tape nor will it tell you what resistance to ground you need for the doorlocks to work and also have the alarm disarm. :uhoh:

well if he bought a remote start, if it is a good one, it should have the installation instructions with it. That will tell you all that mumbo jumbo all he needs is a wiring diagram to tell him where the asked for wires are located, if he did get instructions with it. If you look in the Haynes it does give you a wiring diagram. :grinno: For example. Wire A goes to wire A. Look in haynes manual for color wire "A" and find it in car and presto! :)

Actually, just because the remote start comes with instructions, doesn't make it a good one. All the ones I saw that were worth a crap only come with a diagram for the start itself, not the car. I mean, how could it have vehicle wiring too? How many million different vehicle models are there now???? Like I said, Haynes will tell you what some of the wires are but not always are all the wires listed ones you need. Does it tell you that you have to energize 2 starter wires for a Nissan? Does it tell you that you need to disrupt the negative light wire on a Caravan with a relay and also give it 1500 ohms to ground for the parking lights? What about the parking lights on a Grnd Cherokee??? Does it tell you that if you ground the parking light wire that the lights will flash like you have the hazards on??? No, does it tell you that if you separate the headlight wire then supply 1200 ohms to ground that you will then have the parking lights on and not flashing??? No. That's why mechanics can not install remote starters very well. I have worked with many shops here locally that rather spend the money for me to hook one up in 2 hours vs. them talking all day or even longer because they do not have access to my information. :eek7:

point taken. Then what remote starter is good and has detailed instructions specific for the Neon?

None that I am aware of. You'll have to have access to the information from that company. Personally, I love DEI. They seem to have real nice information too. If you buy a Valet,Hornet, Rattler or any other of the out-the-door peices, the shop should be able to print you off a copy of the install guide. Otherwise, goto www.bulldogsecurity.com for the install info but make sure to test everything! Some of there info is incorrect and their product is horrid :nono:
