Like I said, with the aid of the remote start manufacturer, I spent an hour
under my dash. 15 more minutes to put it together again.

http://www.bulldogsecurity.com/ top menu across the screen and choose
vehicle wiring diagrams. Select the make then the drop down list has the
different years. Print the list take it to the truck.

A little tip: before I even began isntalling I read the isntructions and
wrote numbers of the ires from the remote start to match the color codes of
the wires for the truck. "Under lining" certain sections that have multiple
items will make reloacting information simpler than ever.

HTH,

Bill Day
