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 start. It is required that your installation be done in a wellventilated 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 the location where the vehicle may be garaged.

Since there are many different makes and models of vehicles, for a more complete wiring chart, visit our website, www.bulldogsecurity.com to access your vehicle’s colors and location of wires.

Read this manual thoroughly BEFORE starting the installation. Most newer vehicles may have a factory antitheft system. If you vehicle is equipped with this system, an additional module, Part #781 or #791, will be required. Contact 800-659-0764 to order this item. Please do not skip any steps. Mount the control module under the driver’s dash inside the vehicle after all connections have been made. Do not mount the control module in the engine compartment.

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 for use with vehicles equipped with fuel-injected, gasoline engines with automatic transmissions only.

SAFETY FIRST!

Never remotely start your vehicle indoors, with the keys in the ignition or unless the transmission 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 wire connectors.

Instead, follow the instructions on page 3-4.

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 which 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 vehicle’s fuse box. NOTE: Starter systems do not work well with a partially discharged battery.

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 the 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.

USING YOUR TEST PROBE

To operate your test probe, connect the black clip to a good chassis ground. Connect the red clip to a good

12V positive source. If the test probe is connected correctly, both the green and the red lights will be dimly illuminated. If a positive source is probed, the red light will glow bright and the green light will go out.

If a negative source is probed, the green light will glow bright and the red light will go out.

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 usually located in the driver’s kick panel. Probe the lock and the unlock wires, the test probe will show a (-) negative and the GREEN light will glow bright on both the lock and the unlock wires. Press and hold the lock button on the switch and test the lock wire. The correct wire will test (+) positive and the RED light will glow bright.

Release the lock button and this wire should show a (-) negative and the GREEN light will glow bright.

Now press and hold the unlock button on the switch and test the unlock wire. The correct wire will test (+) positive and the RED light will glow bright. Release the unlock button and this wire should show a (-) negative and the GREEN light will glow bright. Your vehicle has a “Type A” door locking system.

Make sure to mark which wire is lock and unlock. Connecting Door Locks. NOTE: “Type A” and “Type C” locks will test the same. 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 usually located in the driver’s kick panel. Probe the lock and the unlock wires, the test probe will glow both GREEN and RED (dimly) on both the lock and the unlock wires. Press and hold the lock button on the switch and test the lock wire. The correct wire will test (-) negative and the GREEN light will glow bright. Release the lock

on the switch and test the unlock wire. The correct wire will test (-) negative and the GREEN light will glow bright. Release the unlock button and this wire should again glow both GREEN and RED (dimly).

Your vehicle has a “Type B” door locking system. Make sure to mark which wire is lock and unlock.Make

sure to mark which wire is lock and unlock.

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

Once you have located the lock and unlock wires in the vehicle using the wire color chart in this manual or from our website, you will need to perform the same test as for the Type A system. Once you have completed this test, and it tests the same as a Type A (as it should) you will need to cut the lock wire in two. Now try the door lock switch in both the lock and unlock positions. The door locks should not function, this is a Type C system. Proceed to Connecting Door Locks.

NOTE: If for any reason the doors unlock but do not lock with this wire, cut in two, this is a Type A system.

Once you have determined that your door locks are Type C system, you must cut the unlock wire in two. Now you need to determine which wire is coming from the switch and the motor sides of each lock and unlock wire. First, test the lock wires, press and hold the door lock switch in the lock position. Test both lock wires, the wire that shows

(+) positive, and the RED light glows bright, will be the switch side and the other wire will be the motor side of this circuit. Mark these wires. Repeat these steps for the unlock wire by pressing and holding the door lock switch in the unlock position. The wire that shows (+) positive, and the RED light glows bright, will be the switch side and the other wire will be the motor side of the unlock circuit.

To determine if your dome light is turned on with (+) positive or (-) negative trigger, probe for a wire in the driver’s side kick panel that switches polarity when the door is closed, then opened. You can also find this wire going to the under dash courtesy lights.

•If this wire tests (+) positive, the RED light glows bright when the door is open (as with most Fords) and when the door is closed, this wire tests as a (-) negative, the

GREEN light glows bright, this is (+) positive dome light.

•If this wire tests (-) negative, the GREEN light glows bright, when the door is open and when the door is closed, this wire tests as a (+) positive, the RED light glows bright, this is a (-) negative dome light.

If your dome light is a (-) negative (as most others are), connect the VIOLET wire to the dome light wire from the

16-pin harness.

If you dome light is (+) positive (most Fords) you must add Part #775 to use this option. See diagram below.

TRUNK RELEASE AND SLIDING VAN DOOR RELEASE (+)

Locate the trunk release or sliding van door release wire coming from the back of the release switch. To determine if your release is tripped by a (+) positive or a (-) negative (most trunk release or van door release switches are (+) positive). Press the “trunk” or “sliding door” button, if the RED light glows bright, you have a (+) positive release. If the GREEN light glows bright you have a (-) negative release.

If your release is a (-) negative an optional part #775 is required. Connect the WHITE WITH

RED STRIPE wire to the WHITE wire of the optional relay.

Attach the BLACK wire and the BLUE wire to chassis ground and attach the YELLOW wire to the release output wire on the vehicle. Please use figures above for correct connections.

If your release wire is a (+) positive, connect the WHITE with RED stripe wire from the 16-pin harness to the release wire in the vehicle’s harness.
