BEFORE YOU BEGIN

Congratulations, you have purchased one of the most advanced remote starter systems ever made. Your new remote starter is a technological breakthrough utilizing the most advanced, state of the art technology and components. It is computer controlled and manufactured in the U.S.A. The dependability and variety of features make Bulldog Security the leader in the industry. Enjoy your new remote starter for years to come!

This remote system is designed to start your vehicle by sending a command signal from the remote transmitter or by programming automatic temperature or timed start. It is required that your installation is done in a well-ventilated area. It is the responsibility of the owner to ensure that the remote system is not used to start the vehicle in an undesired location.

It is recommended that a carbon monoxide detector be installed in the living area near a location where the vehicle may be garaged.

Since there are many different makes and models of vehicles, look at the wiring chart on or our website, www.bulldogsecurity.com/wires.htm.

Read this manual thoroughly before starting the installation. You must also decide if any options are desired such as trunk release and dome light supervision. An optional relay will be needed for these options. Please do not skip any steps.

TACH/TACHLESS OPERATION

In most cases the decision to go with tachless mode will save time during the installation. If your vehicle is hard-starting then you should use tach mode.

MAKE SURE YOU PLACE THE WARNING STICKER UNDER THE HOOD.

PRECAUTIONS

This system is designed to be used with fuel-injected, automatic transmission vehicles only.

SAFETY FIRST!

Never start your vehicle if it is indoors, if the keys are in the ignition and you’re sure the car is in park. A periodic safety check is recommended to ensure that your system is in proper working order.

DO NOT use mechanical wiring connections, such as crimp or snap together taps. Follow instructions below.

DO NOT disconnect the battery if the vehicle has an anti-theft-coded radio or is equipped with an airbag.

Doing so may cause a warning light to be displayed and may require a trip to the dealer to be corrected.

DO NOT leave the interior or exterior lights on for an extended period of time as it may cause battery drain. Remove the dome light fuse from the fuse box. NOTE: Starter systems do not work well with a partially discharged battery.

DO NOT mount the control module until all connections have been made and tested. Using wire ties or double sided tape, MOUNT THE MODULE UNDER THE DASH. Place the warning sticker under the hood.

WARNING!

GENERAL MOTORS REAR WHEEL DRIVE VEHICLES AND DODGE DAKOTAS

All General Motors rear wheel drive vehicles and Dodge Dakotas built prior to 1996 do not have an electrical Neutral Safety switch. They have a mechanical neutral safety switch. The mechanical neutral safety switch operates as follows.

a)The key will only turn to start position when the gear selector is in park or neutral.

b)The key can only be removed from the ignition switch when the gear selector is in the park

position.

You must use special precautions with this system.

TESTING YOUR WIRES

When testing for a positive or negative voltage, you must use a computer friendly test light (logic probe) or a volt/ohm meter. Make sure to probe and test each wire before making your connections.

LOCATING & MAKING CONNECTIONS

Please see the wiring chart on our website, www.bulldogsecurity.com.

CONSTANT POWER (+12V, key in any position including off)

These wire(s) are in your vehicle’s main ignition harness, usually located on the steering column coming from the ignition switch. Probe each wire with your test light. The correct wire(s) will show +12V when the ignition switch is in these 5 positions (ACC-LOCK-OFF-RUN-CRANK).

1. If your vehicle has only (1) constant power wire, attach the

RED wire from the 18-pin harness and both large RED wires from the 4-relay harness to the constant power wire in the vehicle.

2. If your vehicle has (2) constant power wires, attach the RED

IGNITION HARNESS

UNDER DASH wire from the 18-pin harness and (1) large RED wire from the

4-relay harness to one of these constant power wires. Then

connect the other large RED wire from the 4-relay harness to the second constant power wire in the vehicle.

Make sure to wrap electrical tape around all (3) fuse holders to prevent shorting to ground.

IGNITION WIRE(S) (+12V in run and crank position only)

The ignition wire(s) are also located in the main harness coming from the ignition switch. Probe each wire with your test light, the correct wire(s) will show +12V only when the ignition switch is in the

RUN AND CRANK positions only. The correct wires will not show +12V when in the OFF or ACCESSORY position.

Most Ford, GM, and Chrysler vehicles have at least (2) ignition wires. Most foreign vehicles have only

(1).

1. Strip back the YELLOW wire from the 18-pin harness and then strip back (1) of the (2) WHITE wires from the 4-relay harness and twist both of these wires together.

2. Connect the YELLOW wire and the WHITE wire from step (1) to the ignition wire in the main harness.

If your vehicle has only (1) ignition wire, tape off the end of the second WHITE wire from the 4relay harness and do not use.

3. If your vehicle has (2) ignition wires, connect the second WHITE wire from the 4-relay harness to it.

4. If your vehicle has (3) ignition wires (some GMs) connect the second WHITE wire from the 4-relay harness to both the second and third ignition wires in the vehicle.

ACCESSORY WIRE(S) THAT POWER THE HEATER/BLOWER MOTOR

(+12V in run or on positions) This wire is also in the main ignition switch harness usually located in the steering column. Make all connections as close to the ignition switch harness as possible.

Most vehicles will have (1) accessory wire; however some Fords, newer GM vehicles and Chrysler 94 and up will have (2) or more accessory wires. To locate these wire(s) probe for wire(s) that only show +12V when the ignition switch is in the RUN or ON positions. This wire(s) will not show +12V when the ignition switch is in any other position.

1.If your vehicle has only (1) accessory wire connect the WHITE WITH BLACK STRIPE wire from the 4-relay

harness to this wire.

2.If your vehicle has (2) accessory wires, connect the WHITE WITH BLACK STRIPE wire to both.

3.If your vehicle has (3) accessory wires connect the unused WHITE wire from the 4-relay harness to the

third accessory wire.

STARTER/CRANK WIRE (+12V only in the start position only)

The starter/crank wire is also in the main harness. Locate the wire that shows +12V only in the crank position. This wire will not show +12V in any other position. Attach the YELLOW WITH BLACK STRIPE wire from the 4-relay harness to this wire.

CHASSIS GROUND

Locate an easy to get to bolt or screw

Factory Bolt located under the driver’s side of the dash and attach the BLACK ground wire from the 18-pin harness securely as pictured.

Spade Connector

Black Ground Wire

Note: Remove any paint below the spade connector.

PARKING LIGHTS (+12V only with parking lights on)

Turn the parking lights to the ON position. (NOT YOUR HEADLAMPS).

Probe the wire(s) coming from your headlamp control switch. Find a wire that will show +12V only when the parking lights are ON.

FACTORY ALARM SHUT DOWN WIRE (FASD) (-)

If your vehicle is equipped with a factory alarm system (as most vehicles with a factory keyless entry are) probe for a small gauge wire (usually found in the driver’s side kick panel) that shows (-) ground when the door lock cylinder is turned to the unlock position using the key. This wire will usually show a (+) positive voltage before turning the key. NOTE: Some factory disarm wires remain neutral before you turn the key to unlock instead of +12v positive. Connect the RED WITH BLACK STRIPE wire from the

18-pin harness to this wire.

HOOD PIN SWITCH

This feature will keep the engine from starting or shut off the engine when the hood is opened.

Locate a good chassis ground, if at all possible do not install the pin switch in the rain gutter.

Drill a 5/16 hole, insert the pin switch into the hole and tighten. Check for the hood adjustment, there is approximately 1/4” adjustment in the pin switch. Close the hood easy, making sure that the pin switch is not keeping the hood from closing all the way, if it does, cut off approximately

1/8” of the black plastic off of the top of the hoodpin switch and try closing the hood again.

Check to make sure that the hoodpin switch remains neutral when the hood is closed and shows ground when the hood is open. Plug the BLACK WITH BLUE STRIPE wire from the 18-pin harness into the bottom of the hood pin switch.

TACH INPUT (Optional)

By this time, you should have determined the way you want your vehicle to start (tach or tachless).

If you have chosen the TACHLESS start option, simply proceed to the next step and skip the following connection instructions. Make sure to tape the BLACK WITH WHITE STRIPE wire up if not used. For

TACH mode connect the BLACK WITH WHITE STRIPE wire from the 18-pin harness to the negative side of the coil or the tach wire at the coil pack under the hood. To find the coil pack follow the spark plug wires back to the termination point. To operate in tach mode, make sure to program tach option, see programming tach option page 10.

OPTIONAL CONNECTIONS

TESTING: Door Locks

There are three basic types:

“Type A” Door Lock Test (Most GMs and some Chryslers)

Probe both of your door lock wires going to the door lock switch usally located in the driver’s kick panel. Attach the clip end of your test light to a good chassis ground. Using the vehicle’s door lock controls, activate the lock then the unlock, testing both wires one at a time. If one of these wires tests (+) positive when lock is pressed and the other tests (+) positive when they are unlocked, your vehicle has a “Type A” door locking system. Make sure to mark which wire is lock and unlock. Proceed to Connecting Door Locks, Connecting Door Locks. NOTE: “Type A” and “Type

C” locks will test the same, until you test for ground. Make sure you run both tests before making your connections.

“Type B” Door Lock Test (Most Imports, some newer Fords)

Probe both of your door lock wires going to the door lock switch usally located in the driver’s kick panel. Attach the clip end of your test light to +12V. Using the vehicle’s door lock controls, activate the lock then the unlock testing both wires one at a time. If the test light illuminates when you probe the lock and the unlock wires your vehicle has a “Type B” door locking system. Make sure to mark which wire is lock and unlock. Proceed to Connecting Door Locks.

“Type C” Door Lock Test (Most Fords, some Chryslers, GM Trucks)

(Optional part #778 required)

Using your test light probe both the lock and the unlock wires usually located in the driver’s kick panel. Attach the clip end of your test light to ground probing both wires one at a time while locking and unlocking the doors with the driver’s side switch (usually the master switch).

The test light should illuminate in both switch positions. Now attach the clip end of your test light to +12V constant, probe both wires one at a time again. The light should then illuminate again only in reverse order. This tells you that you have a “Type C” reversing polarity system.

Make sure to mark which wire is lock and unlock. Proceed to Connecting Door Locks.

TESTING: Door Locks

There are three basic types:

“Type A” Door Lock Test (Most GMs and some Chryslers)

Probe both of your door lock wires going to the door lock switch usally located in the driver’s kick panel. Attach the clip end of your test light to a good chassis ground. Using the vehicle’s door lock controls, activate the lock then the unlock, testing both wires one at a time. If one of these wires tests (+) positive when lock is pressed and the other tests (+) positive when they are unlocked, your vehicle has a “Type A” door locking system. Make sure to mark which wire is lock and unlock. Proceed to Connecting Door Locks, Connecting Door Locks. NOTE: “Type A” and “Type

C” locks will test the same, until you test for ground. Make sure you run both tests before making your connections.

“Type B” Door Lock Test (Most Imports, some newer Fords)

Probe both of your door lock wires going to the door lock switch usally located in the driver’s kick panel. Attach the clip end of your test light to +12V. Using the vehicle’s door lock controls, activate the lock then the unlock testing both wires one at a time. If the test light illuminates when you probe the lock and the unlock wires your vehicle has a “Type B” door locking system. Make sure to mark which wire is lock and unlock. Proceed to Connecting Door Locks.

“Type C” Door Lock Test (Most Fords, some Chryslers, GM Trucks)

(Optional part #778 required)

Using your test light probe both the lock and the unlock wires usually located in the driver’s kick panel. Attach the clip end of your test light to ground probing both wires one at a time while locking and unlocking the doors with the driver’s side switch (usually the master switch).

The test light should illuminate in both switch positions. Now attach the clip end of your test light to +12V constant, probe both wires one at a time again. The light should then illuminate again only in reverse order. This tells you that you have a “Type C” reversing polarity system.

Make sure to mark which wire is lock and unlock. Proceed to Connecting Door Locks.

Testing Switch Wire and Motor Wires

Before connecting, you must now determine which wire is the switch wire and which is the motor wire. Cut both the lock and unlock wires in half. Start with both of the lock wires by placing the clip end of your test light to ground, hold the door lock switch in the lock position, make sure you are using the master switch

(usually on the driver’s door) and probe both lock wires looking for voltage. The wire that illuminates the test light, mark as the switch wire, the wire that shows no voltage, mark as the motor wire. Repeat the procedure for the unlock wire. When connecting the lock and unlock wires to the #778 relay harness, make sure you connect the switch wire to the RED wire or pin #87A and the motor wire to the BLUE wire or pin #30. Be sure to connect the lock wires to the lock relay, and the unlock wires to the unlock relay, you may need to mark these relays before you start.
