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. It is important that your installation be 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. 1 Since there are many different makes and models of vehicles, look at the wiring chart on page 17 in this manual and our website, www.bulldogsecurity.com. Read this manual thoroughly before starting the installation. You must decide if the parking light option is desired. If so, an optional Part #775 will be needed. 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 YOUR HOOD. For Model RS82 or RS85 follow the instructions until you reach page 13. For RS85 only, continue. PRECAUTIONS This system is designed for use with vehicles equipped with fuel-injected, gasoline engines with automatic transmissions only. SAFETY FIRST! Never start your vehicle if it is indoors, if the keys are in the ignition and unless 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 on 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. 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. 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. MAKING WIRING CONNECTIONS NOTE: In most cases you should not cut your vehicle wire in two. 1. Strip back two inches of insulation on the wire from the remote starter. Two Inches of Bare Wire 2. Strip back one inch of insulation on the wire you need to connect to. One Inch of Bare Wire 3. Separate the vehicle wire as shown. Make the separation large enough to fit the other wire through. 2 4. Insert the wire(s) from the starter through the hole as shown. If two or more wires are inserted, wrap them in opposite directions. 5. Wrap the wire around one side then the other and finally around itself as shown. 1 2 3 6. Use electrical tape to wrap. Be sure to cover the wire about two inches on either side of the connection. First pull the wire that you have just connected along side the wire you connected to, tape and wire tie them together. Use this method for all connections. Electrical Tape Wire Tie CAUTION: All wires must be wrapped with tape and wire tied. MAKING END TO END CONNECTIONS Use this method ONLY when connecting two separate wires end to end. 1. When tying two separate wires together at their ends, strip back one inch of insulation on both wires and separate the strands of wire as shown below. 2. Twist upper wires together, twist lower wires together as shown. 3. Lay upper twisted pair of wires over right wire as shown. Bring lower twisted pair of wires up to meet the left wire as shown. 3 4. Use electrical tape to wrap, be sure to cover about 2 inches on either side of connection. Secure with wire ties as shown. Electrical Tape Wire Tie Wire Tie Use this method ONLY when connecting two separate wires end to end. LOCATING & MAKING CONNECTIONS Please see the wiring chart on this website, www.bulldogsecurity.com/wires.htm. 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). IGNITION HARNESS UNDER DASH 1. If your vehicle has only (1) constant power wire, attach the RED wire from the 11-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 wire from the 11-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. 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. The correct wires will not show +12V when in the OFF or ACCESSORY position. Most Ford, GM, and Chrysler vehicles 1994 and up have at least (2) ignition wires. Most foreign vehicles have only (1). 1.Strip back the YELLOW WITH BLACK STRIPE wire from the 11-pin harness and then strip back 1 inch of the WHITE wire from the 4-relay harness and twist both of these wires together. 2.Connect the YELLOW WITH BLACK STRIPE wire and the WHITE wire from step (1) to the ignition wire in the main harness. 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. SPECIAL NOTE: All 96 and newer GM trucks and SUVs have a second ignition wire (WHITE or PINK WITH WHITE STRIPE wire). This second ignition wire must be connected. 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. STARTER/CRANK WIRE (+12V only in the start position) The starter/crank wire is also in the main harness. Locate the wire that shows +12V on your test light only in the cranking 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. SPECIAL NOTE: Most Nissan’s have two crank wires. Connect both crank wires in the vehicle to the YELLOW WITH BLACK STRIPE wire from the relay harness. CHASSIS GROUND Locate an easy to get to bolt or screw located under the driver’s side of the dash and attach the BLACK ground wire from the 11-pin harness securely as pictured. A good ground is required for your system in order for it to work properly. Factory Bolt Black Ground Wire Spade Connector Note: Remove any paint below the spade connector. 4 Parking Light Output (-) (Optional Part #775 required) Probe the wire(s) coming from your headPositive Parking Lights lamp switch. Find the wire that will show YELLOW +12V when the parking lights are ON and To parking light ground when the lights are OFF. Connect circuit the YELLOW wire from Part #775 to this wire. Connect the BROWN wire from the 11-pin WHITE harness to the WHITE wire on Part #775. 87a BLACK Connect the BLACK and the BLUE wires from Brown(-) from part #775 to +12V constant fused at 20 module amps.

When probing the wire(s) GROUND coming from your headlight switch, find a wire that shows (-) negative or ground when the parking lights are on and positive or neutral when the parking lights are off. Connect the YELLOW wire from Part #775 to this wire. Connect the BROWN wire from the 4-pin harness to the WHITE wire on Part #775 connect the BLACK wire to 12V constant fused at 20 amps and connect the BLUE wire from Part #775 to ground. See “negative” diagram. BRAKE INPUT - Some vehicles require “key on”. The brake wire is located on the switch near and above the brake pedal. The correct wire will show (+12V) on the test light only when the brake is pressed. Connect the BLUE WITH BLACK STRIPE from the 11-pin harness to this wire. ANTENNA For best results, run the antenna (YELLOW WITH BLACK TIP in the 11-pin harness) as straight as possible. Do not place the antenna next to any metal parts or the vehicle’s main computer control. 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) and you can disarm your factory alarm by using the key in the door you will need to use the FASD wire. 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 door key. This wire will usually show a positive voltage before turning the key. NOTE: Some factory disarm wires remain neutral (shows no voltage) before you turn the key to unlock instead of +12v positive. Connect the RED WITH BLACK STRIPE wire from the 11-pin harness to this wire. HOOD PIN SWITCH (Mandatory Hookup) This feature will keep the engine from starting or shut off the engine when the hood is opened when remote started. 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 11-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). Tachless uses voltage electronic signals and timing to work. Tach types use a signal directly from the ignition coil. If you have chosen the TACHLESS start option, simply proceed to the next step and skip the following instructions. Make sure you tape this wire up if not used. For TACH mode connect the BLACK WITH WHITE STRIPE wire from the 11-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 their beginning point. To operate in tach mode, make sure to program tach option. See programming tach option page 14. AUXILIARY INPUT (For Aftermarket Alarms) If you use this starter with an aftermarket alarm, connect the BLUE wire from the 11-pin harness to the second or third channel output of your existing alarm. When the output is activated, a signal will activate the remote starter. AUXILIARY INPUT (For Model RS85 Only) (For your factory keyless or aftermarket alarm) When connecting this unit to a factory keyless entry system, you must locate the door lock wire that tests as a positive when you press the lock button on the factory remote. A relay Part #775 will be needed to convert the positive output from the door lock to a negative for the RS85. If the wire negative when you press the lock button on the factory remote, you can tie directly into the BLUE wire. 5 CONNECTING THE 11-PIN HARNESS & 4-RELAY HARNESS RED To +12V constant BLACK Ground BROWN (-) Parking Light Output (Requires optional part #775) BLUE/BLACK (+) Brake Switch YELLOW/BLACK Ignition Input BLUE (-) Aux.
